Augrented Insights Report for 244 East 196th Street

244 East 196th Street is a 5-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Steven Speroni. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building in November and December 2024, though these issues were reportedly resolved following HPD inspections.

The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions with violations related to molds and pests recorded in March 2024, and rodent activity noted in multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024, with recent rat activity confirmed in October 2024. The building's security features have come under scrutiny, with the Department of Buildings citing illegal electromagnetic locks and other deficiencies at the main entrance in July 2024, though these violations were subsequently closed after repairs. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the last several years (2018-2024).

Recent rodent inspections show a mixed record of compliance, with failures noted in 2022 and confirmations of rat activity in 2024, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. In July 2024, there was an open violation regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements for Apartment 4E that appears to be unresolved as of September 2024. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by prompt closure of several Department of Buildings and Housing Maintenance Code violations through repairs and replacements, including security door repairs and fire escape maintenance.
