Augrented Insights Report for 540 East 142nd Street

540 East 142nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2018, currently owned by Shimshon Grunstien. The building has experienced recurring pest control challenges, with the most recent rodent sighting reported in June 2025, following a compliance inspection showing rat activity in May 2025.

The property has also faced sanitation issues, including a significant garbage/recycling storage problem in late 2024 that resulted in HPD violations. While the building's bedbug report filings from 2021-2024 indicate no infestations during those periods, the property has had mixed results with rodent inspections, showing both passed and failed results between 2012 and 2025. During the building's construction phase in 2019-2020, there were multiple safety compliance issues, including violations related to inadequate housekeeping, construction debris management, and failure to maintain proper safety equipment, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations.

These violations included failures to provide temporary lighting, maintain guardrails, adequately provide fire extinguishers, and maintain proper stair fills. Although these construction-related issues were resolved and the current bedbug reports show no infestations, the recurring rodent sightings and recent garbage storage violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally passed subsequent rodent inspections since 2019, though with notable exceptions, and maintains a record of proper bedbug reporting compliance since 2021 with zero infestation claims.
