Augrented Insights Report for 540 East 22nd Street

540 East 22nd Street is a 4-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1935, currently owned by Alex Wagman. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout January 2025, with multiple complaints from both individual apartments and the entire building, some classified as emergencies. Prior to this, there were significant maintenance concerns documented in 2024, including plumbing issues and cabinet problems that went unresolved due to access problems during HPD inspections.

Two units, 1D and 3A, were found with multiple violations in 2024 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, while apartment 3H had problems with mold and a bathroom exhaust vent. Of particular note, there are active violations regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for various years between 2018-2024. The building has a documented history of pest issues, with three units reporting bedbug infestations in 2021-2022, though subsequent filings from 2022-2024 show no further infestations.

In early 2024, apartment 1D had multiple heating and hot water issues and was found to have a roach infestation that was subsequently addressed. Between late 2020 and early 2021, there were several complaints regarding building stability, though inspections did not find any violations. The building's management has maintained some compliance with basic maintenance requirements, as evidenced by recent rodent inspections showing passed results in 2022. However, the pattern of heating system complaints and multiple unresolved violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
