Augrented Insights Report for 48 West 73rd Street

This seven-story, 36-unit New York Law Tenement building at 48 West 73rd Street, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Christopher Orpheus, has been experiencing persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with ten separate incidents reported between January 2024 and February 2025, including both apartment-specific and building-wide complaints.

While some violations were issued and inspections conducted, access issues limited HPD's ability to fully evaluate the conditions in many cases. The building has an ongoing rodent issue, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity and requiring bait application, with the most recent inspections in March and April 2025 indicating continued pest management efforts.

Historical records from 2018-2019 show various maintenance violations, including heating system access issues, fire escape problems, and multiple repairs needed in apartment 2E, specifically regarding plaster surfaces, kitchen fixtures, and self-closing doors. The Department of Buildings also documented an electrical wiring issue in October 2023, though it was referred to the Department of Transportation. The building's bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 show zero infestations, and the most recent permit issuance for electrical work occurred in August 2019.
