Augrented Insights Report for 42 West 69th Street

42 West 69th Street is a 4-story, 14-unit building constructed in 1896, currently owned by Zacarias Vazquez. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with open complaints regarding paint and plaster problems on both walls and ceilings as of May 2025. There have been multiple failed inspection attempts by HPD in March 2025, where inspectors could not gain access to investigate issues related to sewage, plumbing (bathtub/shower), and multiple paint/plaster concerns.

Notable violations from previous years include an active roach infestation in apartment 4B (Dec 2024), and multiple safety concerns in apartment 4A (2024) involving defective window molding, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and leaky faucets - all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has a history of structural and systems concerns, with multiple complaints about building shaking/vibrating in 2020-2021, and several electrical wiring issues between 2018-2024. During 2025, the building underwent rodent inspections, all of which passed, indicating successful pest control efforts.

The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting standards, showing no infestations for the past several years. Historical records show various maintenance code violations being resolved, including those related to window repairs, door/window issues, and fire safety equipment. The building has had consistent permit issuance for electrical work between 2020-2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance of building systems.
