Augrented Insights Report for 237 East 31st Street

The five-story New Law Tenement at 237 East 31st Street in Kips Bay, owned by Behrooz Hedvat, was constructed in 1920 and contains four residential units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing being recurring heat and hot water problems, including an emergency complaint in December 2024 that required HPD intervention. Multiple active violations are currently on record regarding the failure to submit annual External Low Pressure Inspection reports between 2018-2021, and an active ECB violation from March 2022 concerning the boiler room notice not being properly posted.

The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges, including three open violations from March 2022 related to rooftop heating units, door security issues, and required filings. There was notable construction-related concern in March 2020 when violations were issued for unsafe construction conditions, though these were later resolved. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, consistently passing inspections between 2011-2025, and has demonstrated effective bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the past three years. Access issues have been recurring, with multiple instances in 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain entry during investigations, including for complaints about work without a permit.

The building's recent history indicates ongoing challenges with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations. While some violations and complaints have been resolved, several active issues remain, particularly regarding inspection filings and equipment maintenance. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 showed compliance, continuing the building's successful track record in this area. The property has undergone various permitted work over the years, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2020 for various maintenance and improvement projects.
