Augrented Insights Report for 163 East 81st Street

The ten-story New Law Tenement building at 163 East 81st Street, owned by Robert Raskin, has 42 units and was constructed in 1927. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, most notably regarding facade maintenance and reporting requirements.

Multiple active violations (as of 2024) indicate failures to submit required Energy Efficiency Reports (EER) for 2021-2023, and there is an outstanding violation from 2018 concerning the submission of a Cycle 8B report documenting the condition of exterior walls, for which a $625 penalty remains due. In 2018, the building faced serious facade maintenance issues, with violations citing eroded mortar joints and damaged stone coping, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $6,250. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, and more recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show no infestations or related issues.

A 2021-2024 311 service request regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues in a food establishment (closed in 2024) appears to be unrelated to the building itself, as it was filed under the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has also regularly obtained necessary permits for various work, with the most recent issued in July 2023. While the building has experienced some persistent administrative compliance issues, particularly regarding energy reporting, its overall maintenance record shows proactive response to identified violations, with no recent reports of pests affecting residential units.
