Augrented Insights Report for 251 West 74th Street

The 27-unit, 6-story building at 251 West 74th Street, owned by Allegra Broft and constructed in 1948, has experienced several significant infrastructure issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple plumbing emergencies in December 2024 involving water supply problems that affected heat and hot water, while the building also faced a series of door-related violations in December 2023 requiring repairs to self-closing doors in various locations including compactor closets and individual apartments (notably in units 1B, 5B, 7A, and 7D).

The building has shown persistent rodent activity in recent inspections, with positive findings for rat activity recorded in August 2024 and November 2023, following several years of passing inspections from 2016-2022. The property has faced several compliance issues with building safety standards and maintenance requirements, including multiple active ECB violations from 2021 related to gas utility work and automatic sprinkler system requirements, with penalties totaling $6,250.

These violations were concerning work performed in 2021 involving gas piping installation for commercial dryers in the cellar laundry room without proper permits or inspections. The building also has three active violations regarding the failure to file required exterior wall inspection reports (FISP Cycle 9A) from 2021-2023, totaling $1,250 in penalties. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record with no reported infestations between 2019 and 2024, the combination of recent plumbing issues, rodent activity, and ongoing compliance violations suggests there are several areas requiring attention to maintain building safety and resident comfort.
