Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 5-story, 20-unit tenement building at 435 East 74th Street in the Upper East Side, managed by 2 East 181st St Associates LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues and violations over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint that could not be inspected due to lack of access. Throughout 2024, multiple issues were recorded including water leaks, window frame problems, and ceiling plaster/paint concerns. A significant cluster of violations was documented in June 2024 for apartment 2C, including issues with window fittings, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and water leaks, all of which were certified as corrected by July 2024.

The building has a history of systemic maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints about water leaks, window problems, and heating issues. Between 2019-2021, there were three complaints about building shaking/vibrations, though access was denied for two inspections. The building faced several ECB violations in 2019 related to wall maintenance and failure to comply with orders, resulting in financial penalties. Rodent inspections conducted between 2022-2023 recorded regular rat activity, though some compliance inspections passed. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2024, with all previous cases successfully eradicated.

The property also underwent structural concerns in 2019 related to parapet walls tilting towards the roof, and there have been ongoing issues with building systems and maintenance that suggest a need for continued oversight. Five separate complaints regarding the building's heating system have been recorded between 2023-2025, with varying levels of resolution. While many violations have been addressed, the recurring nature of some issues indicates potential ongoing maintenance challenges within the building's systems and infrastructure.
