Augrented Insights Report for 290 Empire Boulevard

290 Empire Boulevard is a 6-story, 77-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Robert Malek. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple complaints recorded between January and April of that year, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. Additionally, there were water leak complaints in February and March 2025, with HPD unable to gain access for inspections in several cases.

The building has a documented history of violations, with the most recent housing maintenance code violations from October 2024 in apartment 1H involving plumbing issues and pest infestations, and multiple violations from September 2024 related to compactor closet doors on the 2nd and 4th floors. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021-2024 regarding various elevator devices, though most inspections found no violations or resulted in dismissed complaints. Bedbug reports have shown some activity, with the most recent filings in late 2024 and 2023 showing eradicated units, though none were reported as currently infested.

The building's maintenance history includes environmental control board violations from 2022 and 2018 related to elevator functionality and maintenance requirements. While there were significant rodent activity issues noted in 2012-2013, subsequent inspections in 2017-2018 showed passing results. A permit for work at the property was issued in April 2019.
