Augrented Insights Report for 229 East 28th Street

The 6-story, 84-unit building at 229 East 28th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Tanuja Pulakhandam, has faced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of pest infestations, including a cluster of complaints in March 2023 involving violations for pests, followed by additional complaints in August 2024.

The building has recent heat and hot water issues, with a complaint in December 2024 that HPD was unable to fully investigate due to access issues. Significant plumbing problems were documented in March 2023, including issues with bathtubs/showers and toilets, along with a slow water leak complaint from January 2023. Recent violations from September 2024 indicate concerns in apartment LJ, including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, mold conditions in the bathroom, various plumbing issues, and evidence of rodent infestation.

The building's environmental history shows a mixture of compliance and violation statuses, with past issues including a 2020 violation for obstructed fire escape passageways and multiple construction-related complaints in 2019 regarding work without permits and debris. While the building has maintained a zero record for bedbug infestations since 2019, rodent inspections have shown some variability, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though a March 2023 inspection noted rat activity. The property has had multiple permit issuances between 2018-2020 for various work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
