Augrented Insights Report for 179 East 79th Street

The 16-story New Law Tenement building at 179 East 79th Street, owned by Juan Maturana, was constructed in 1928 and contains 59 units.

The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with particular concern surrounding open housing maintenance violations from 2018 that jeopardize resident safety, including missing required notices about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detecting devices, and emergency procedures for gas leaks. More recently, the building has been cited for failing to submit necessary reports regarding elevator inspections for multiple years from 2019-2023.

In 2022, there were multiple construction-related violations during work at the property, including issues with scaffold installation and safety compliance, though these were eventually resolved. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations or rodent activity since 2019, and all rodent inspections between 2010-2019 resulted in "Passed" status, except for one in 2016 which indicated "Rat Activity." The most recent 311 service request in 2024 related to a food establishment permit issue which was addressed, demonstrating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
