Augrented Insights Report for 420 East 72nd Street

The 19-story, 191-unit building at 420 East 72nd Street, owned by Robert Lemieux, has experienced recurring issues with heat/hot water outages and unsanitary conditions over the past several years. Most notably, there have been five heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building since 2018, with the most recent occurring in February 2024.

The building has also faced ongoing challenges with mold, including three emergency complaints in 2023-2024, and issues with garbage/recycling storage documented in a January 2022 complaint. Recent infrastructure concerns include active violations from February 2024 in apartment 10E regarding defective plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and a malfunctioning bathroom vent, as well as a February 2024 open B violation related to an elevator door repair issue. The building's recent history contains construction-related incidents, including two Environmental Control Board violations in March 2024 with $5,000 penalties each, connected to a safety incident involving debris falling from scaffolding.

There was also a construction stop work order in March 2024 that was fully rescinded in May 2024. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2016-2020 and has maintained a bedbug-free record according to all filings from 2019 through 2024. While the Department of Buildings has issued multiple permits for work on the building between 2019-2021 for plumbing and electrical maintenance, the recurring nature of heat, water, and mold complaints suggests ongoing building systems issues.
