Augrented Insights Report for 223 East 85th Street

The seven-story, 28-unit tenement building at 223 East 85th Street, built in 1920 and currently owned by Teddy Farrugia, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to facade safety, including one from 2024 with a $10,000 penalty for failure to file an acceptable amended cycle 8C report regarding unsafe conditions, and another from 2019 concerning an unsafe rear fire escape-balccony support.

The building has also faced recent structural concerns, with a March 2025 Department of Buildings violation for dislodged brick masonry and vertical cracking on the south and east elevations. The facade-related issues appear to stem from the failure to properly address problems identified in previous facade inspections.

The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with a rat sighting reported in April 2025 and subsequent inspections in May 2025 passing. While the building has maintained a zero-infestation record for bedbugs in recent years, there have been consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring annual bedbug report filings between 2021 and 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of requiring follow-up inspections and compliance checks, particularly regarding facade safety and other structural concerns, with some violations remaining active as of 2025, suggesting ongoing attention needed to address building safety and maintenance requirements.
