Augrented Insights Report for 245 West 72nd Street

245 West 72nd Street is a 7-story, 22-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by JPS 050 Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between April and May 2025, though each was promptly addressed and closed after tenant confirmation of restored services.

These recent events follow previous violations including inadequate hot water service in both common areas and individual apartments as documented in 2024 violations. The building has faced several safety and maintenance concerns in recent years, including locked access to heating systems (2024), inadequate apartment safety features in Unit 6C (missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, improper toilet installation), and various security-related violations in 2023-2024 related to door locks and closures. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations that required correction, including a 2022 ECB violation regarding improper gas meter installation with a $3,125 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved.

Historical records show regular rodent inspections from 2014-2024 consistently passed, and the building has maintained a clear bedbug report history from 2018 to present, showing zero infested units. Various emergency and routine repair permits have been issued through the years, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the ownership. While the building has faced numerous violations and complaints over the years, most have been promptly addressed through appropriate channels, with the most pressing current issue being the recent heat and hot water service interruptions.
