Augrented Insights Report for 169 East 77th Street

169 East 77th Street is a 5-story, 40-unit Old Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Steve Hoffman. The building has experienced recurring issues with water leaks, with three heavy flow complaints filed in 2023 (April and August) and a slow leak complaint in 2022 (July). There have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, particularly notable in late 2022, though most were eventually resolved.

The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 in apartment 3H, regarding defective plaster and the absence of a peep hole in the entrance door. Elevators have been a recurring maintenance concern, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2018-2021 regarding safety devices, emergency services, and hydraulic issues, though most have been resolved. Recent concerns include two water leak complaints in 2023 that HPD couldn't inspect due to access issues, and an open refrigerator appliance complaint from June 2025.

The building had a rodent violation in 2022 and has required multiple bait applications for pest control between 2018-2022. Building safety issues have been documented, including a locked/blocked egress violation in 2025 and work without a permit complaint in 2024, though these were primarily resolved through inspections. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past six years, and has demonstrated regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing most recent evaluations.
