Augrented Insights Report for 349 West 71st Street

Located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, 349 West 71st Street is a four-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Edgar Merchon. The property has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2018 and 2024, with recent inspections in August and October 2024 showing active rat presence.

The building also has a significant history of illegal transient use violations from 2020, when the 3rd-floor apartment (#2) was found to be improperly converted for short-term rentals, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations and penalties totaling $19,250. These violations included failures to maintain proper fire safety systems, means of egress, and automatic sprinklers, although records indicate these issues were subsequently resolved. More recently, the building has faced heating system concerns, with a February 2025 complaint about heat and hot water issues being investigated by HPD, though no violations were found.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past four reporting periods (2020-2024), with zero infestations reported in any unit. Historical records show the building had violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, but these appear to have been resolved, with the most recent filings from 2023-2024 showing no affected units. Additionally, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint in February 2025, though HPD's inspection found no violations of housing laws.
