Augrented Insights Report for 221 East 173rd Street

221 East 173rd Street is a 6-story, 26-unit Class A building constructed in 1939, currently managed by 221 East 173rd Street, HDFC. The building has experienced persistent heating and plumbing issues recently, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded between April 2024 and May 2025, including emergency responses confirming restoration of services. There are also active violations related to the fire escape's rust condition (opened August 2024) and multiple safety-related concerns about building systems.

Recent inspections show the building is under structural monitoring, with documented masonry issues including moisture penetration through exterior brickwork affecting Unit 5-A, as noted in an active ECB violation from January 2024. The property has undergone several emergency responses between 2024-2025, including multiple heat/hot water incidents, plumbing issues, and a significant safety concern with the fire escape system. Elevator service problems were reported in late 2023, though no violation was found during inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows irregular pest control measures, with periodic reports of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, though recent filings indicate reduced activity. Multiple violations regarding building code compliance are currently active, including failure to maintain proper building systems and structural elements, with specific requirements for sidewalk protection and documentation of energy efficiency measures. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 show variable results, with periods of rat activity followed by bait application responses, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade.
