Augrented Insights Report for 305 East 21st Street

305 East 21st Street is a 6-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement building located in Gramercy, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Russell Fridman. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between August 2024 and March 2025. The building has also faced rodent challenges, with several inspections showing rat activity between 2024 and 2025, though most recent inspections in July 2025 have passed.

Significant violations were recorded in September 2023, including problems with self-closing doors (Apartment 14), bathroom ceiling plaster and paint issues (Apartment 18), and various problems in Apartment 22 including defective wash basin, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and evidence of a pest infestation. The building's history includes various Department of Buildings complaints and violations, with particular attention to illegal occupancy issues in 2024 involving unauthorized commercial use of a residential unit, resulting in penalties. Multiple complaints regarding boiler issues were logged between 2018-2022, though inspections generally found no violations.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations in any of the official reporting periods from 2020-2024. Recent inspections and compliance checks indicate some improvement in building conditions, with most recent rodent inspections showing no active violations as of July 2025. The building has a consistent record of addressing maintenance issues, with many violations being closed promptly after corrections were made, though the recurring nature of heat/hot water and pest-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with certain building systems and maintenance protocols.
