Augrented Insights Report for 521 East 72nd Street

The 15-unit, 9-story apartment building at 521 East 72nd Street, built in 1920 and currently owned by 521 East 72nd St Realty Company II, LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, during July 2024, the building faced multiple water supply problems and unsanitary conditions related to pests that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises in some cases. There were also heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building during this period, with some issues being resolved promptly while others remained problematic.

The building has a history of plumbing-related complaints, with multiple incidents reported and investigated throughout 2024, as well as issues with mold, paint/plaster, and radiator systems. The property has open violations as of 2024 related to safety concerns in apartment 9A, including defective self-closing doors and missing window guards. There are also active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores and file benchmarking reports.

A significant environmental control board violation from 2019 remains unresolved concerning the installation of a full sprinkler system and final report submission. While the building has maintained a pass record for rodent inspections between 2017 and 2021, there have been recurring issues with building systems and maintenance compliance, including failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2018 to 2020, though recent reports for 2022-2025 show no infestations. The property appears to have had regular permit activity in recent years, with the most recent permits issued in 2019 and 2018 for various maintenance work.
