Augrented Insights Report for 229 Front Street

229 Front Street is a 6-story commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1839, currently owned by Jonathan Durst and containing 9 units. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints spanning from March 2023 through January 2024. These problems have resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heat supply and water temperature issues in both the penthouse and PHW apartments.

The building's facade has faced maintenance challenges, with numerous violations recorded in 2020 related to cracked bricks and missing mortar on the front facade, which resulted in fines but were ultimately resolved. The building's recent history shows significant focus on heating system problems, with emergency complaints continuing into 2024 despite some inspections finding no violations or being unable to gain access for proper inspections. Additionally, there were issues with building access to heating systems in 2023-2024.

While the building's bedbug reports from 2020 through April 2025 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections have generally passed, there were noted rat activity inspections in April and May 2023. The property owner has addressed some violations and made attempts to comply with various orders, though there were multiple failure-to-correct violations issued in 2020 related to building maintenance standards. The Financial District building's heating and maintenance issues appear to be the most pressing concern in recent years, with ongoing complaints from multiple tenants regarding these basic services.
