Augrented Insights Report for 642 East 2nd Street

642 East 2nd Street is a 4-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement building located in Kensington, built in 1931 and currently owned by 640 East Realty, LLC. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues throughout 2024-2025, with eight rat sightings reported between October 2024 and June 2025, and inspections continuing through July 2025. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic utilities; there were two instances of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in February 2025 and October 2024, though these issues were reportedly resolved during HPD inspections.

Multiple emergency plumbing issues were documented in 2024, including problems with water supply, toilets, and bathtub/shower facilities. The building's maintenance history shows several code violations requiring attention, including electrical safety issues, water leaks, and problems with self-closing doors in common areas, as well as complications with smoke detector compliance in apartment AA1. The property has had some structural and systems maintenance concerns over the years, including a 2020 Event regarding a defective boiler system that resulted in a penalty and violations related to gas pressure regulation.

Recent documents indicate three active violations related to incomplete external low-pressure inspections from 2017-2019. Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2024 included requirements to repair doors, electrical systems, and various building features like flooring, walls, and ceiling conditions. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations over the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, and inspections continue to monitor for rodent activity with baiting efforts implemented in July 2025. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building's recent inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges, particularly regarding the building's infrastructure and pest management systems.
