Augrented Insights Report for 27 Rutgers Street

The 20-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement building at 27 Rutgers Street in the Lower East Side, owned by Ming Lam, has a complex history dating back to its 1920 construction. The building has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues, particularly notable between 2020-2021 when multiple emergency HVAC complaints were filed and subsequently addressed. More recent maintenance concerns include a plumbing issue in December 2023 and a handwashing compliance matter in March 2024.

While bedbug reports have been filed annually, all recent filings (2021-2024) indicate zero infestations. The property faced significant challenges between 2018-2020 regarding illegal occupancy and conversion issues, particularly involving unit 5D, which led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to building code compliance and safety systems. These violations included failure to provide a fire alarm system and maintain proper egress requirements.

The building underwent various inspections in 2022-2025, with most recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2022 and 2024. Several open Housing Maintenance Code violations remain, including issues with a carbon monoxide detector in apartment 2B and access to the building's heating system. The building's recent history shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with filings indicating no infestations since 2021. While many past violations have been resolved, there are active DOB violations regarding failure to certify corrections for certain hazardous conditions as of 2020.
