Augrented Insights Report for 227 East 81st Street

227 East 81st Street is a 5-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Perry Roth. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergencies reported between December 2022 and March 2024 affecting the entire building.

More recent concerns include a slow water leak (October 2023) requiring violations to be issued, and another heat/hot water issue (March 2024) which was resolved upon inspection. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including door/window problems (February 2023), paint/plaster work (walls in August 2023 and ceiling in January 2023), and general cabinet issues (July 2023). Safety violations are particularly noteworthy in apartment 5W, with outstanding violations as of mid-2024 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has had previous boiler-related issues, with a defective boiler complaint in April 2021 and an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding leaking hot water piping from April 2021 with a $3,125 penalty. Building security systems have been maintained, with multiple violations corrected regarding doors not self-closing properly between July 2023 and August 2023. Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the past five filing periods (2019-2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections (2018-2025).
