Augrented Insights Report for 149 East Broadway

149 East Broadway is a 5-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Kathy Chiu. The property has experienced persistent electrical issues in 2025, with two separate "no lighting" complaints still open as of April 2025. These recurring electrical problems follow an earlier pattern of maintenance issues, including multiple rodent-related complaints in 2023 and 2024. The building underwent an inspection in July 2023 that resulted in several open violations needing attention, including required postings for smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and gas leak procedures, as well as a notable C-level violation for a mouse infestation in the basement.

The Department of Buildings has recorded more recent concerns, including a potentially improper occupancy situation with commercial business "Urban Graphics Corp" in February 2024, resulting in a $1,250 violation in October 2024 related to a Certificate of Occupancy discrepancy. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections and baiting efforts recorded from September 2024 through 2025. While recent inspections from June 2025 passed with no active rat presence, the building has undergone consistent pest management attempts throughout 2024-2025. The bedbug reporting history shows no infestations recorded between 2019 and the present.

The 311 and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints sections reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, including open electric issues in 2025 and previous sanitary concerns related to pests in 2023. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from July 2023 remain open, indicating needed improvements to building safety communications and maintenance practices. The building's inspection and violation history suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding electrical systems and pest control, with most recent concerns focusing on lighting issues and certificate of occupancy compliance. The property has been subject to regular inspections and violations, though recent rodent activity appears to have been reduced according to the latest inspection results. While the bedbug reports show consistent non-infestation status for several years, the building continues to require attention to basic maintenance matters as evidenced by open violations and service requests.
