Augrented Insights Report for 738 East 243rd Street

738 East 243rd Street in Wakefield is a 6-story, 72-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Gerald Mascuch. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, most notably with pest infestations, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations between 2024 and 2025, particularly concerning rodent issues. Recent complaints from May 2025 alone documented violations related to paint/plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, flooring issues, and unsanitary conditions with pests.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about single-device service and lack of alternate service between 2023 and 2025, and there is currently an active complaint regarding this issue from November 2024. Water supply and plumbing issues have also been documented, with emergency complaints in April and May 2025. The building has faced various quality of life and safety challenges, including a pattern of fire safety violations related to elevator management and fireman service installation between 2018 and 2022, though some of these have been resolved.

Recent inspections (2025) indicated rat activity and failed compliance inspections, highlighting ongoing rodent control challenges. Individual apartment violations have been documented, particularly in apartments 1D, 4B, and 5K, addressing issues with damaged cabinets, floors, and various infrastructure problems. While recent bedbug reports indicate no observed infestations from 2020-2024, the building has a notable history of pest-related complaints. The property has undergone several construction/renovation attempts, with multiple permits issued between 2022-2024, though past work without proper permits was also noted.
