Augrented Insights Report for 85 John Street

85 John Street is a 16-story, 160-unit converted New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Peter Levenson and located in Manhattan's Financial District. The building has experienced several recent maintenance issues, with the most recent being a mold complaint in May 2025 that was reportedly resolved. During 2024-2025, there were two instances of food poisoning complaints, though both were deemed isolated by health authorities.

The building has a history of pest-related issues, including multiple rodent sightings in 2023-2024 and various pest complaints in 2021, despite passing routine inspections. Ventilation systems have been a recurring concern, with complaints in 2022-2025 leading to both emergency and non-emergency responses from HPD and DOHMH. The property has undergone several significant events and inspections over the years, including a plumbing emergency in 2021 affecting both bathtubs and toilets, and issues with door/window frames.

The building experienced various construction-related complaints between 2021-2024, including a 2024 complaint about building shaking/structural stability that was investigated with no violations found. The Department of Buildings has issued several violations over the years, including an important one in 2022 regarding construction safety compliance. However, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024 shows zero reported cases, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Recent permit activity includes multiple work permits issued in 2022 and 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance or improvement work at the property.
