Augrented Insights Report for 488 East 74th Street

488 East 74th Street is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Mark Scharfman. The building has experienced recurrent maintenance and habitability issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025, including multiple plumbing problems (toilets, water supply issues), heating problems, and an ongoing water leak situation. In 2024, significant building system concerns were documented, including water leaks, air quality issues, and elevator service problems.

The property has faced various compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple violations and 311 service requests regarding water supply, heating, and maintenance issues between 2023-2025. Notably, the building was cited in 2023 for failing to maintain its exterior facade, with a violation specifically mentioning cracked masonry stone lintels, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed and subsequently resolved. The building's life safety systems have required attention, particularly in 2024 when violations were issued regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector functionality in Apartment 3D. Common area maintenance issues have been documented, including problems with self-closing doors and various repair needs in public areas.

The building has demonstrated a pattern of water-related maintenance issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and water supply problems over the past two years. However, there is no current evidence of bedbug infestations, with the building consistently reporting zero infested units in its annual bedbug reporting since 2021. Rodent activity has been sporadic but has shown some improvement, with recent inspections in 2024 passing compliance requirements, though 2023-2024 saw multiple initial inspections noting rat activity. The property has undergone regular inspections and has addressed many violations, though some, including a 2023 FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report filing failure, remains open as of the latest available data.
