Augrented Insights Report for 223 East 21st Street

223 East 21st Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building located in Gramercy and owned by Carl Finger. The property has experienced recurring sanitation issues in 2025, with multiple 311 complaints regarding rodent sightings (including one instance of confirmed rat activity in May 2025) and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions that remain open as of March 2025. These recent pest control challenges are particularly concerning given the building's history, as rat activity was documented in initial inspections from January through April 2025, with all showing rat activity.

Previous rodent inspections from 2018-2023 had consistently passed. The building has also faced various maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. In 2023, violations were issued for a self-closing door problem in the fire passageway, and inspections found rodent infestation, defective plaster surfaces, and other maintenance concerns.

The property had several open violations in 2022, including issues with marble treads, metal staircase disrepair, and self-closing door problems in common areas. A building vibrating/structural stability concern was documented in June 2022 and resulted in an Oath violation being served. The rear stairs received a $1,250 violation in 2022 for excessive rust throughout the treads and risers. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, the building's bedbug reports for 2021-2024 show no recorded infestations or re-infestations, indicating effective pest control in this regard.
