Augrented Insights Report for 439 East 74th Street

439 East 74th Street is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Howard Hershkovich. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three complaints in late 2024 (two in November) regarding building-wide heating problems, though one was marked as a duplicate of another complaint.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly during 2022 when multiple violations were issued across different categories including paint/plaster issues (walls and ceilings), plumbing problems (steam pipe/riser), and various building maintenance concerns. Notable 2020 incidents included emergency responses for cooking gas issues and an electric/gas range problem. Recent inspections indicated some concerning patterns, including confirmed rat activity in 2023 (March and April), and a 2024 indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors or odors.

The building underwent construction work in 2021 that raised multiple safety concerns, as evidenced by Environmental Control Board violations for tenant protection plan violations and hazardous debris conditions, though these were ultimately resolved. While the past several bedbug reports (2019-2024) show zero infestation counts, periodic rodent inspections have shown variable results, with the most recent reports in 2023 indicating rat activity. The building has also faced several inspection challenges, particularly regarding access for HPD inspections, as seen in the November 2024 heat complaints where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification.
