Augrented Insights Report for 214 East 42nd Street

214 East 42nd Street is a 38-story Class B building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1980 and currently owned by Joshua Morris. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent bedbug report (November 2024) showing three infested units, though all were reported as eradicated. The property has documented rodent activity through inspections, with the latest results from 2025 showing persistent pest control challenges.

The building's maintenance record reveals several significant safety concerns, including an active unsafe façade notification (2022), building shaking concerns (2022), multiple construction safety compliance violations (2024), and elevator maintenance issues (2024) involving rusty hoist ropes and expired brake maintenance tags. The building has faced several administrative and safety compliance challenges in recent years. Three consecutive years (2021-2023) received violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed.

In 2024, there were multiple construction-related violations, including improper construction fence installation and inadequate pedestrian protection during façade work, resulting in penalties totaling $3,500. The property underwent several permit issuances between 2018-2021 for various maintenance and repair works, including several relating to exterior walls and elevator systems. While some violations have been resolved or dismissed, including a façade inspection failure from 2022, the building's recent history demonstrates ongoing maintenance and safety compliance requirements, particularly regarding pest control and building systems maintenance.
