Augrented Insights Report for 85 Walker Street

85 Walker Street is a 5-story, 3-unit residential building located in Chinatown, built in 1869 and currently owned by Sydney Licht. The building has experienced recurrent heating and hot water issues over recent years, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code, most recently in March 2024 and April 2023.

The property has also faced persistent unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage as evidenced by the May 2023 complaint, and earlier pest infestations documented in 2020. There are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from May 2023, including issues with water leaks, wall conditions, and maintenance of public areas that require attention, particularly focusing on the 2nd and 5th story public stair areas. The building has a documented history of rodent inspections showing generally good results, with only one "Rat Activity" finding in February 2014, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (2019-2025) according to official filings.

Two significant complaints were filed in 2018 regarding potential illegal conversion and commercial use, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their investigations. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of heating system problems, with emergency complaints filed in both 2020 and 2023, though some instances resolved quickly upon investigation. The property underwent several inspections and repairs over 2023-2024, with the most recent housing code violations potentially affecting resident safety and comfort, particularly relating to water systems and stairway maintenance.
