Augrented Insights Report for 270 Empire Boulevard

The 270 Empire Boulevard building, a 6-story, 77-unit New Law Tenement built in 1928 and currently owned by Rachel Wolf, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing problems with unauthorized smoking in smoke-free areas, with multiple complaints filed in 2025, and an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage since April 2025. The building has faced recurring heating issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2024-2025, though inspections generally found the systems operational at the time of verification.

There have been significant concerns about mold and water intrusion, particularly in 2024, with violations issued and inspections confirming these conditions. The property has a documented history of illegal conversion complaints, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025, though most inspections resulted in no violations being warranted. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been recorded through inspections, with several failures reported between 2017 and 2024.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent area of concern, with multiple violations and complaints between 2019 and 2023 regarding door lock monitoring, communication systems, and service outages, including a Class 1 violation for improper installation in 2021 that resulted in penalties. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate compliance with city bedbug reporting requirements, with no confirmed infestations reported in the last three reporting periods. The building's maintenance record shows both emergency and non-emergency complaints, with varying responses and resolutions, including some requiring specific attention to lead paint hazards in apartment 4J as of late 2024.
