Augrented Insights Report for 17 East 97th Street

The 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building at 17 East 97th Street in East Harlem, owned by Michael Hepner, has a long history dating back to 1904. The property has faced recurring issues with rodent infestations, evidenced by multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding food establishment concerns and a significant number of rodent activity inspections between 2023 and 2025. These inspections show a pattern of rat activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed without issues.

The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2018 through 2024, showing no infestations during these periods. Recent attention has been focused on Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with an active complaint as of August 2024 showing that inspectors were unable to gain access on the first attempt. The building has also undergone various permit activities between 2018 and 2022, including plumbing and electrical work.

While there have been several housing maintenance violations noted in 2023 and 2024 regarding annual bedbug report filings, these appear to be administrative in nature and have since been addressed. The property has experienced some environmental concerns, including a 2019 sidewalk shed violation, though this was resolved without penalties. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 suggest improved conditions, with multiple "Passed" results indicating better management of pest control issues.
