Augrented Insights Report for 353 East 72nd Street

The Fontaine, located at 353 East 72nd Street, is a 35-story, 138-unit residential building constructed in 1975 and currently owned by Timothy Okeefe. The property has experienced significant heat and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code between December 1-3, 2024, indicating system-wide problems affecting the entire building. These complaints, while labeled as emergencies, were closed due to inability to gain apartment access for inspection.

The building has a history of facade maintenance challenges, with current active violations from 2023 showing spalled concrete at Exposure 1 and issues with the exterior facade and safety measures. In February 2023, emergency work was ordered due to defective facade conditions at the south and east elevations. Earlier building concerns include multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023 related to building shaking, falling debris, and an unsafe facade notification under LL11/98, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being found upon inspection.

The Fontaine has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero units affected. The building does have a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2018 and 2020 showing repeated rat activity, though compliance inspections in 2019-2020 indicated improvements. The property handled several emergency permits for facade work between 2018-2022, showing ongoing attention to structural maintenance despite some persistent violation issues.
