Augrented Insights Report for 281 East 205th Street

281 East 205th Street is a 6-story, 59-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Martin Vuksanaj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in 2024 when multiple complaints were filed between March and April, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recent service requests include a mailbox issue in April 2025 and an apartment heat/hot water complaint in January 2025, though both were reportedly resolved.

The building's elevator system has been a significant area of concern, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2019 and 2022, including a 2022 ECB violation for being out of service. Elevator-related issues generated numerous complaints in 2022, leading to several Oath Violations. Recent inspections have revealed some safety concerns, particularly regarding fire safety. Multiple violations were documented in 2024 regarding fire door functionality and self-closing mechanisms in building hallways, with one such violation originating from a November 2023 inspection.

The boiler room has also been a focus of attention, with a March 2024 complaint resulting in an environmental violation notice for exposed wiring and various maintenance issues. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 to 2025. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with a "Rat Activity" result in May 2024, though subsequent inspections have passed. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, most recent violations and complaints appear to be addressed promptly, with many recent service requests showing resolution.
