Augrented Insights Report for 174 Hester Street

174 Hester Street, a 6-story, 1910 New Law Tenement building located in Little Italy and currently owned by Anesti Xhixha, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems over the past two years. From October 2024 through May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages, with some being unable to gain access for inspections. The building faced significant plumbing challenges in late 2024, with violations issued for steam pipe/riser issues in November, and multiple heat/hot water complaints across different months indicating a systematic problem with the building's infrastructure.

Apartment 15, identified as having several specific maintenance issues, received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2024 for problems including water leaks, door issues, and floor damage. The building's systems appear to have faced general maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations related to the heating system, plumbing, and various building components. The Department of Buildings records show several significant concerns, including four active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018-2020, and previous enforcement actions related to unsafe electrical conditions around the building's signage in 2024, with a penalty of $1,600 noted.

Historical data also indicates past issues with unauthorized work and illegal conversions in 2018-2021, though these appear to have been resolved through Oath Violations. While the building has maintained a rodent-free status with multiple passing inspections throughout 2022-2025, and has shown no bedbug infestations in recent years, the recurring heating and plumbing issues suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining basic building systems. The property has demonstrated some compliance with inspection requirements, as evidenced by the closure of various violations, though notably, several boiler-related inspections in 2023 have been marked as active violations for failure to file required documents.
