Augrented Insights Report for 13 Ludlow Street

The five-story, 17-unit tenement building at 13 Ludlow Street in Chinatown, owned by Kin Lau, has experienced recurring issues with cooking gas supply, particularly during 2023-2024. There were multiple emergency complaints related to cooking gas between December 2023 and November 2024, with at least one violation issued in May 2024 concerning inadequate gas supply to the kitchen fixtures in Apartment 9.

The building has also faced some significant maintenance challenges, including open violations from 2022 requiring the painting of the east facade cornice and repair of rust scales on balconies/ fire escape components. A notable illegal conversion issue was documented in 2021 regarding unauthorized partition walls in Apartment 2 on the third floor, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has maintained a relatively good record in other areas, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025.

There are currently active violations for failure to file certain external inspections in 2018 and 2019, and a 2023 violation was issued for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. Additionally, the building has a history of emergency gas complaints that often resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for inspection. The most recent maintenance issues appear to be primarily focused on the cooking gas system, suggesting ongoing challenges with this building system despite several inspections and complaints.
