Augrented Insights Report for 840 2nd Avenue

840 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Midtown, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jeffrey Peterson, Trustee. The building has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues in recent years, with notable problems occurring in August 2023 involving both radiator and flooring concerns, as well as sanitary conditions related to pests, though the latter violation was specifically cited in a Class C violation for mice infestation in Apartment 2.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in August 2023 regarding inadequate safety signage, including missing notifications for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, along with failure to maintain proper inspection certificate display requirements. The building has a documented history of rodent control issues, with extensive baiting efforts recorded between January and March 2018, though recent inspections in 2025 showed passing results. A concerning pattern emerged in 2023-2024 regarding outdoor advertising violations, with multiple ECB violations issued related to an unauthorized "The Tide is Turning - Aquaman" sign, though these appeared to be resolved without penalties.

The property currently has active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020, 2021, and 2022, and there are two significant financial violations from 2021-2024 totaling $12,500 related to failure to comply with previous ECB violations, though the building's recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no recorded infestations. While the building passed recent rodent inspections and has maintained a clean bedbug record in the past two reporting periods, the property has exhibited ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges. The most recent bedbug reporting periods indicate effective management of this particular pest issue, while the violation history suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance responses.
