Augrented Insights Report for 1384 1st Avenue

This six-story, 25-unit Old Law Tenement building on the Upper East Side, owned by Todd Cohen and built in 1910, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety concerns over recent years. Most concerning are the recurring heat and electrical issues, with the most recent heating complaint in March 2025 affecting the entire building, following several electrical problems in 2024 including lighting outages that were either inadequately addressed (August 2024) or resulting in HPD inspections finding no violations (September 2024). The building's environmental conditions have been problematic, particularly in mid-2024, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including pigeon waste and odors, though investigations by DOHMH were unable to gain access or encountered previously reported conditions.

An inspection in 2024 revealed rat activity, continuing a pattern observed in previous years, with multiple rodent inspections showing inconsistent results. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 14, where multiple violations were documented in 2024 related to interior conditions requiring paint and plaster repairs. Apartment 7 has documented violations from 2022 including electrical wiring concerns, a broken lockset, plaster issues, and an active (as of 2022) violation for rodent infestation.

The property has faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints over recent years, with active ECB violations from 2024 regarding unauthorized commercial use of the ground floor (operating as "Relax-East 74" massage parlor) and various electrical safety concerns. Compliance with housing maintenance codes appears to be inconsistent, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints recorded in 2024-2025, though many violations have been subsequently closed or certified as corrected. While the building has maintained a zero record for bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods (2021-2025), the recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and facility systems that impact resident comfort and safety.
