Augrented Insights Report for 2 Bowery

The 5-story, 6-unit building at 2 Bowery in Chinatown, owned by Joel Spitzer and constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water systems and heating. Most notably, the building has faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in both 2024 and late 2023, with both entire building and apartment-specific issues reported through 311 services and HPD.

Water-related problems have also been persistent, with heavy and slow leaks reported in early 2024 and late 2023, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued. In late 2022, the building faced several violations related to mold, plumbing issues, and wall conditions, though these were resolved within a week of being reported.

More recently, from March to May 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding sidewalk shed and scaffolding conditions, with varying outcomes including both violations and "no violation warranted" findings upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding water systems and heating infrastructure, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods from 2023-2025. A construction-related violation from July 2023 was resolved, and there are currently two active violations from 2020 and 2021, though these are relatively old compared to the more recent maintenance issues.
