Augrented Insights Report for 140 East 81st Street

140 East 81st Street is a 13-story, 82-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Ethan Litwin. The building's maintenance history shows a concentrated period of required repairs in 2007-2008 related to Apartment 12F, including issues with plastered surfaces, paint, and several safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though all these violations were officially certified as corrected by June 2024.

Recent maintenance activity includes a 2019-2024 pattern of Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections with no violations found, and the most recent bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations, though there were two documented cases in 2018-2019 that were successfully eradicated. The building had one significant violation regarding illegal occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy in 2019, which was resolved, and a 2022 violation for a missing car door restrictor that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. All rodent inspections from 2016 through 2019 passed, except for one in 2016 that showed rat activity.

The property's recent infrastructure work is evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2023, with the most recent permit being issued in June 2023 for plumbing work. Various complaints have been filed over the years, including a 2019 plumbing issue that was investigated but resulted in no violations, and several Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in recent years showing no violations warranting enforcement action. While there have been periods of maintenance issues in the past, the building has shown recent improvements in compliance with housing maintenance codes and safety requirements, with all documented violations being resolved or dismissed based on follow-up inspections.
