Augrented Insights Report for 43 Catherine Street

43 Catherine Street is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Baoting Chen. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a major incident in June 2023 involving an ion-lithium battery fire that caused extensive damage to the first and second floors, including burnt wires and water damage throughout the building. Following this, violations were issued regarding fire safety concerns, including compromised exit passageways, improper door hardware, and the presence of flammable materials related to lithium-ion battery storage/charging.

In April 2024, multiple violations were recorded concerning inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in apartments 19-28 on the 5th and 6th floors. The building has a history of heating issues, with complaints recorded in 2022 and 2019 regarding lack of heat and hot water, though these were subsequently resolved. Rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with multiple inspections showing rat activity from 2023 through 2025, despite bait application efforts.

The building underwent various inspections and violations related to unauthorized work, construction without proper permits, and safety concerns, though many of these violations were eventually dismissed or resolved. A significant portion of the building's recent history involves compliance issues with safety systems, building maintenance, and habitability concerns, including plumbing problems, safety hazards, and unsanitary conditions. While the building has maintained zero bedbug infestations in recent years and shows no current issues with pest control as of the latest reports, the pattern of heating system failures, safety violations, and rodent problems raises ongoing concerns about basic building maintenance and resident comfort.
