Augrented Insights Report for 209 21st Street

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 209 21st Street in Sunset Park, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 267 23rd Street LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most recently, in early 2025, the building faced rodent problems, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene finding violations requiring follow-up inspections. Throughout 2024, the property dealt with multiple pest-related complaints, including bedbug infestations in Apartment 8 (April 2024) and several pest-related violations between May and June 2024, prompting emergency interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Other notable issues included water leak problems (January 2024), heating and hot water failures affecting the entire building (September 2023), and concerns about flooring conditions (June 2024). The building has multiple open violations as of 2024, including unpermitted modifications involving a roof patio with cast iron gate and wood deck, and a spiral cast iron staircase installation in Apartment 7. A bedbug infestation was officially reported in January 2025, though records show previous successful eradication efforts.

The building experienced plumbing and illegal conversion complaints in 2023-2024, though inspections found no violations in these cases. Historical records from 2018-2019 show various audit inspections and some plumbing permit issues related to a suspended master plumber's license, which were subsequently resolved. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed initial rat activity in February, followed by a passing compliance inspection in April 2025.
