Augrented Insights Report for 172 Henry Street

172 Henry Street is a 6-story, 43-unit old law tenement building in the Lower East Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Kin Lau. The building has been experiencing recurring maintenance issues, particularly noticeable in 2025, with multiple complaints filed in May regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), ventilation system problems, and concerns about various building surfaces including floors, walls, and ceilings. These issues were categorized under different complaint types including plumbing and paint/plaster, with some marked as emergency situations.

Additionally, there have been ongoing heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with complaints noted in December 2024 through February 2025, though some inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building is currently facing several open housing maintenance code violations, particularly from inspections in late 2023-2024 affecting apartment 3C, including issues with kitchen fixtures, ventilation, and safety systems. There are also historical concerns about the building's infrastructure, with a notable violation in November 2024 regarding excessively hot water in apartment 2A, and previous issues with building façade maintenance documented in 2022.

While there have been multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2023-2025 with varying results, the building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing no infested units from 2020-2024. Recent construction and maintenance violations have resulted in penalties, including a $2,400 charge in November 2024 regarding a sidewalk shed condition. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly related to basic building systems (heat, water, ventilation) and interior maintenance issues, though it has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations.
