Augrented Insights Report for 7 East 81st Street

7 East 81st Street is a four-story, 8-unit building located on the Upper East Side, built in 1879 and currently owned by E. Roger Hotte. The property has been undergoing significant renovation work, including a conversion project, which has generated numerous complaints and violations. Most notably, there are persistent open violations regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024.

The building has also accrued multiple active Environmental Control Board violations related to construction activities by Cubic Construction Corp. in 2023-2024, including issues with boiler inspection filing, unsafe construction practices, and damage to adjacent properties. The Department of Buildings has issued several violations between 2023-2024 for failure to file external low-pressure boiler inspections from 2019 through 2024. While there have been multiple complaints about safety net/guard rail issues in 2025, inspections found no violations at the time.

Regular rodent inspections from 2010 to 2019 show consistent passing results, indicating no rodent issues during this period. The building's recent history (2023-2025) has been marked by construction-related safety concerns, including multiple complaints about work contrary to stop work orders and safety net/guard rail issues. Significant construction violations remain active, including one from August 2023 regarding improperly stored diesel fuel surrounded by combustible materials. The property has experienced various construction-related challenges, including issues with mechanical hoists, temporary walls, and construction debris. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures in past inspections, the ongoing bedbug report violation and multiple construction-related issues suggest areas of concern for current and prospective tenants.
