Augrented Insights Report for 2121 1st Avenue

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 2121 1st Avenue in East Harlem, owned by George Carrasco, has faced several maintenance and habitability challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues occurring in 2023. In March 2023, multiple service requests were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including complaints about pests, water leaks, and flooring issues. These inspections resulted in some violations, particularly concerning pest infestation.

Apartment 4, located on the third floor, was found to have multiple violations including rodent infestations (both mice and roaches), inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues affecting ceilings and walls. The building has also experienced recurring rodent problems, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing mixed results regarding compliance, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. Historical records indicate the building has faced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, including a documented heat and hot water emergency in February 2022, and various inspections revealing problems with windows, flooring, and plumbing systems.

Notably, there are active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 related to plumbing work performed without proper permits and failure to properly test altered plumbing systems, with associated penalties. The building has maintained an active bedbug report status, showing no infestations in recent annual filings from 2021 through 2024. Recent improvements include passing rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, though earlier inspections in 2023-2024 noted rat activity. The most recent building inspection records from June 2023 indicate an open violation regarding an external low-pressure inspection that was not filed for 2021.
