Augrented Insights Report for 686 East 234th Street

686 East 234th Street is a 6-story, 64-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by 686 E 234 Realty LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning water infrastructure, with multiple complaints about leaks between 2025-2023, including recent heavy flow and mold issues in June 2025, and slow leaks in May 2025.

The building's common areas and systems have shown ongoing concerns, with multiple HPD complaints in 2025 regarding plumbing, unsanitary conditions, and building systems. Notable violations from recent years include December 2024 citations for defective self-closing doors in multiple apartments (A5, A8, B12, D11, E1) and the bulkhead area, as well as structural issues documented in 2019 involving ceiling and wall cracks in several apartments (A12, B2).

The building's elevator service appears to have been problematic, with multiple complaints between 2022 and 2024, including a motor malfunction in 2022, and in 2023-2024, building rodent activity was identified as a recurring issue, with inspections showing rat activity and multiple compliance failures. Recent inspections of rodent activity from 2022-2025 indicate persistent pest management challenges, though bedbug inspections show no reported infestations in recent filings. The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, with violations related to exposed wiring and boiler issues noted by the Department of Buildings, particularly an October 2023 citation for multiple mechanical system violations requiring correction.
