Augrented Insights Report for 229 East 79th Street

This 15-story, 83-unit New Law Tenement building at 229 East 79th Street, owned by Kathy Morrow and constructed in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. The most significant recent cluster of problems occurred in February 2024, with multiple complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding plumbing, water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, wall maintenance, window frames, and various other repairs. Most of these complaints, while numerous, were closed without violations being issued.

The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges in Apartment 2C, with multiple open violations from 2023 including issues with floors, tiles, walls, and various repairs needed throughout the apartment. The property has maintained a good safety record, with all recent bedbug reports (2021-2025) showing no infestations, and passing rodent inspections from 2011-2023. Three emergency electrical violations were issued in 2021 for Apartment 2C regarding defective outlets and light switches, with penalties totaling $3,260, though these were resolved.

The building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in 2021, all resulting in no violations. Recent permit activity includes a plumbing permit issued in February 2025, and multiple electrical and plumbing permits issued between 2018-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement work is being conducted. Two historical violations from 2019-2021 related to energy efficiency display requirements and low pressure inspection filing were dismissed.
