Augrented Insights Report for 221 East 28th Street

The five-story, 20-unit tenement building at 221 East 28th Street in Kips Bay, owned by 221-223 E 28th Realty LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple ventilation system problems, unsanitary conditions including mold, and garbage/recycling storage issues. As of May 2025, there are open complaints regarding the garbage/recycling storage.

There have been persistent challenges with building systems, evidenced by multiple HPD inspections that could not be completed due to lack of access, including recent complaints in 2025 about the ventilation system and mold. In late 2024, there were concerns about fire escape safety, though HPD inspections found no violations. The building has a documented history of various maintenance violations and safety concerns, including an emergency heating/hot water issue in November 2024, plumbing problems in October 2024, and a floor issue in September 2024.

The property participates in regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there was a failed inspection in 2018. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, with the most recent reports showing no infested units. Historical violations (2018) included necessary postings regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements in common areas, though these were successfully addressed. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, recent records show improved compliance with pest control requirements and no recent bedbug infestations.
