Augrented Insights Report for 740 Empire Boulevard

740 Empire Boulevard is a 96-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jacob Hager. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints recorded through HPD between January and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these issues were temporarily resolved, they appear to be recurring.

The building underwent inspections in December 2024 that revealed several violations, including problems with heating system access, soiled public areas, and multiple defects in Apartment 3C including bathroom issues and roach infestation. Further violations were documented in December 2024 related to Elevator safety and maintenance requirements, with penalty assessments. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints filed between 2020 and 2024 regarding both single device operation with no alternate service and multiple device functionality issues.

Recent inspections in 2023-2024 indicated some safety deficiencies requiring attention. The property has experienced brief periods of insect infestations, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showing no active cases, though previous years had some infestations in Apartments 5K and 3C. While the building generally passes rodent inspections (most recent in September 2023), there were instances of rat activity noted in the past (2010 and 2015). Three facade safety violations were filed in 2021 related to building maintenance requirements, and there is an active DOB violation from April 2023 regarding an exterior low pressure inspection that remains unresolved as of the current date.
