Augrented Insights Report for 215 Madison Street

This 20-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 215 Madison Street was constructed in 1920 and is currently owned by Hoagy Chen. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues occurring in 2025 involving pest infestations.

Three separate pest-related complaints were filed in May 2025, all resulting in HPD violations. Earlier in 2025, the building faced emergencies including heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building (April 2025), and multiple complaints were made in 2024 regarding building systems and conditions such as water leaks, mold, electrical problems, and cooking gas concerns. The building underwent a significant inspection in November 2024, revealing multiple violations in apartment 2C related to safety systems, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards.

There are also several open violations from April 2024 concerning lead-based paint hazards, bathroom issues, plaster surfaces, and required safety notices. While the building has maintained good rodent inspection results, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, and bedbug eradication efforts have been successful with no recorded infestations since 2019, the property has been cited for a failure to file an annual boiler inspection report from 2017 (active since November 2019). The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 and multiple pest complaints suggest continuing challenges with building maintenance, though the consistent eradication of bedbugs indicates effective management in that area.
