Augrented Insights Report for 524 East 79th Street

524 East 79th Street is a six-story, 100-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jose Rivera. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent problems including heat and hot water accessibility complaints in November 2024, and multiple sanitary condition violations related to sewage between May and August 2024. Between May 2024 and June 2024, there were also documented issues with pests and a water leak involving heavy flow, though inspections did not result in any violations being issued.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges, particularly with sewage-related complaints, evidenced by at least eight separate reports between 2023 and 2024. The building underwent inspections in 2022 which revealed issues with self-closing garbage chute doors on multiple floors, though these violations were certified as corrected by April 2022. While there have been instances of rodent inspection failures in 2023-2024, most recent inspections show passing results.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with the last recorded infestation reporting zero affected units. A minor violation related to energy benchmarking was filed and dismissed in 2020. The building's 311 service requests often show limited inspection access for city agencies, resulting in closed complaints without resolution verification. Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with one failure recorded in 2023, though the most recent inspection in July 2024 passed.
