Augrented Insights Report for 42 West 88th Street

42 West 88th Street is a 10-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Mark Irgang. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant clusters of complaints occurring in 2020-2021 and 2022-2023. A notable pattern of plumbing and maintenance problems was documented in early 2021, including issues with the bathtub/shower, sink, and various surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors), though most of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations.

The building experienced a serious plumbing violation in 2021 affecting the bathtub/shower. More recent inspections in 2023 revealed several door-related violations, including issues with self-closing doors and locking mechanisms, though these were also addressed and closed. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations, and passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there were some failures noted in 2018.

The elevator situation has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 regarding single-device operation and no alternate service, though inspections consistently found no violations. Two ECB violations related to elevator maintenance were issued in 2018, one with a significant penalty of $12,500. The building's general maintenance history shows a mix of non-emergency and emergency issues being reported and resolved, with the most recent bedbug and rodent inspection results indicating good current conditions. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, records indicate that most issues have been addressed and resolved through proper channels, with no current active violations as of the latest inspections.
