Augrented Insights Report for 271 Water Street

271 Water Street is a 5-story, 8-unit commercial-turned-residential building in Manhattan's Financial District, constructed in 1900 and presently owned by Vera Sung. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints registered in early 2019, though all were subsequently closed after HPD involvement.

Notably, there are two active violations from 2018 regarding an unauthorized martial arts center on the first floor, with associated fines of $1,250 each, related to occupancy without a valid certificate of occupancy and zoning compliance for physical culture establishments. The property has maintained consistent bedbug management, with all eight recent annual bedbug reports (from 2022-2024) showing no infestations or related issues.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted between 2010 and 2018, all passing without any concerns. The building's bedbug reporting compliance was formally noted as a violation in early 2022, though this appears to have been rectified in subsequent filings. While the heating issues of 2019 suggest past maintenance challenges, the absence of similar complaints in recent years indicates potential resolution of this particular concern.
