Augrented Insights Report for 1708 2nd Avenue

1708 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1915 in the Upper East Side, currently owned by Martin Scharf. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with three documented slow leak complaints in 2024 and early 2025, though most were resolved without violations. A significant cluster of violations was identified in 2023 during a July inspection, primarily affecting 4th-floor apartments (4S and 4R), including issues with window safety, ventilation systems, and life safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building experienced multiple systems-related problems in 2019, including cooking gas and power outage emergencies, along with a heat/hot water issue in late 2022. Recent inspections for rodent activity (2022-2024) have all passed, indicating no current infestations. The property management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no reported infestations from 2019 through 2024.

A vacate order related to building stability concerns was implemented in 2019 but was fully rescinded in April 2023. The building's recent history includes several inspection attempts for various complaints in 2023-2025 that resulted in either no violations found or the inspector being unable to gain access. Notably, from 2023 to 2025, there have been complaints regarding food establishment conditions and a certificate of occupancy issue, though these were ultimately resolved or closed without findings of violations. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work being permitted, particularly between 2020-2022, suggesting ongoing investment in property upkeep.
