Augrented Insights Report for 506 East 88th Street

The 5-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement at 506 East 88th Street, built in 1915 and currently owned by Mark Scharfman, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. Most recently, in April 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found rodent violations that require follow-up inspections. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with both entire building and apartment-specific complaints in late 2024-2025, though access for inspections was not consistently provided.

Other notable incidents include a heavy water leak in October 2024, electrical problems in August 2023 regarding lighting, and multiple rodent-related complaints in 2023. The property has also faced several safety compliance issues, including the September 2023 violations related to missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1C, inadequate hall lighting, and unsatisfactory maintenance of garbage areas. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, with significant attention required for rodent control, as evidenced by multiple baiting and inspection efforts throughout 2023-2025, including passed compliance inspections in May 2025.

While there have been three bedbug infestation reports between 2019-2024, the most recent report from December 2024 indicates successful eradication of one unit's infestation. Historical records show various apartment-specific issues, including plumbing problems in 2022 and previous violations regarding egress obstruction and security features. The property did undergo some permitted work in 2018, with permits issued for plumbing and electrical work, though detailed outcomes are not specified in the available records.
