Augrented Insights Report for 231 West 74th Street

231 West 74th Street, owned by Bryce Macdonald, is a 3-story, 11-unit brownstone building constructed in 1886 and currently classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" structure. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past few years, with active violations documented throughout 2023-2024, particularly regarding the building's facade condition.

These violations include problems with deteriorating metal cornice, broken/missing windows, and issues with mortar joints across multiple inspections between 2022-2024. Notably, there are three active violations from 2024 (dated January, May, and September) citing failures to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, including observations of loose/rusted metal components, open/missing mortar joints, and damaged window framing. The building has also faced various safety and maintenance challenges related to pedestrian protection infrastructure, with violations in 2022 regarding damaged/deteriorated mud sills of sidewalk sheds.

While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no documented infestations, there have been some rodent inspection failures in 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed. The property has a record of regular permit activity, with multiple EQ permits issued between 2019-2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement work. Most concerning is the pattern of repeated violations regarding facade maintenance, with inspectors consistently noting similar problems across multiple inspections, indicating potentially unresolved structural and maintenance issues that could impact tenant comfort and building integrity.
