Augrented Insights Report for 244 East 32nd Street

The 5-unit, 4-story tenement building at 244 East 32nd Street in Kips Bay, built in 1901 and currently owned by Bruce Akrongold, has experienced recurring maintenance and occupancy issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about pest infestations, with multiple complaints in 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions that HPD was unable to inspect, and an open violation from 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report requirement.

The building has also faced persistent heating issues in early 2024, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, though some were resolved after inspections. In terms of occupancy violations, the building has a significant history of illegal conversion and use complaints, particularly regarding the cellar and sub-cellar levels. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2024 found unauthorized modifications and uses of the space, including illegal occupancy as a massage parlor and unauthorized construction work, leading to substantial fines totaling over $17,500 across several violations.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 further highlight concerns about building maintenance, including inadequate means of egress and lack of required natural light and ventilation in newly created sleeping quarters. The building's rodent inspection history shows variable results, with the most recent inspections in 2025 indicating active rat activity and bait application, though earlier inspections from 2016-2020 had passed. While some violations have been dismissed or resolved, several remain open, including a 2024 violation for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation, and there are active DOB violations from 2019 regarding elevator inspection requirements.
