Augrented Insights Report for 250 East 38th Street

250 East 38th Street is a 6-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1956 and currently owned by Peter Rebenwurzel. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple complaints filed in November-December 2023 and 2021, though inspections often found heat and hot water had been restored by the time of review.

More recently, there have been concerns about unsanitary conditions, with a mold complaint filed in February 2025, and a refrigerator issue reported in July 2024, both of which required tenant cooperation for resolution. The building's maintenance record shows several notable violations and repairs, including emergency mold remediation in Apartment 3B in 2023, and multiple self-closing door issues in the laundry room documented in November 2023. The building's infrastructure has faced several challenges, including electrical and plumbing violations documented in 2018, resulting in ECB fines related to improper electrical grounding, unsecured cables, and unauthorized renovation work in the basement areas.

While the building underwent these repairs, it also experienced periodic pest issues, with documented bedbug infestations in 2020-2021 and a rodent inspection passing in August 2024. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2025, with no active infestations reported in recent filings. The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections and investigations, including a 2024 review of alleged unauthorized alterations, though no violations were found at that time.
