Augrented Insights Report for 167 Hester Street

167 Hester Street is an 8-story old law tenement building with 14 units, located in Chinatown and built in 1900, currently owned by Calvin Tso. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past five years, with the most recent complaint in January 2023, though inspections were either incomplete or showed no violations.

In early 2022, multiple emergency safety concerns were raised, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and mold, all of which were closed. The building underwent several maintenance violations in 2022 relating to fire escape accessibility and unauthorized alterations in apartment 6REAR, including an elevated threshold and suspended ceiling, which were addressed by July 2022.

More recent inspections, including three bedbug reports from 2024-2025, show no infestation issues, and the building's rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 all passed, though there were incidents of rat activity noted in 2018. The building's bedbug reporting from 2022 onwards consistently shows no active infestations, and the most recent rodent inspection in 2024 was cleared. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, recent records indicate an improved situation regarding pest control and building safety compliance, with no recent major violations or safety concerns reported since 2022.
