Augrented Insights Report for 43 West 74th Street

The four-story, 1890 brownstone at 43 West 74th Street is currently owned by Joel Ritz and contains one residential unit. The building has been experiencing persistent pest control issues, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and rodent inspections throughout 2023 and 2024 showing repeated rat activity.

The property is currently facing two open Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2022 and 2023, indicating potential lapses in pest management protocols. Recent construction activities have generated significant regulatory scrutiny, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints in summer 2024 related to unpermitted work, blocked egress, and scaffold safety issues, including an OATH violation served for locked/blocked egress in August 2024.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 indicate construction safety compliance issues, with one violation imposing a $5,000 penalty for obstructing an emergency exit from an adjacent property. The building's maintenance records show regular rodent bait application throughout 2024, with inspections consistently revealing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in March 2024 noted some improvement. Two recent service requests to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2023 and 2024 resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections, further highlighting ongoing health and safety concerns.
