Augrented Insights Report for 221 East 21st Street

The 29-unit, 7-story residential building at 221 East 21st Street in Gramercy, built in 1985 and currently owned by East 21st Street II LLC, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the current open violations in apartment 6A as of December 2024, which include multiple safety issues such as defective plastered surfaces, non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing problems with the bathroom flushing apparatus.

Additionally, the building has recent quality of life concerns documented in late 2024, including multiple HPD complaints regarding flooring, walls, mold, and pest problems, though inspections were generally unable to complete or did not find violations. The building has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with significant events occurring between 2019-2021 related to illegal short-term rentals, resulting in multiple ECB violations for failure to comply with correction orders.

More recent issues include two active violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, and an emergency service request regarding elevator service in December 2024. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over several years (2019-2024), and regular rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2010 through 2025. While the building has demonstrated compliance with various health and safety inspections, the persistence of recent violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges.
