Augrented Insights Report for 29 Allen Street

29 Allen Street is a 5-story, 7-unit residential building located in Chinatown, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Wendy Yeung. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems documented from 2019 through 2024, including a significant emergency complaint for the entire building in December 2022 and individual unit complaints in 2019. More recently, as of December 2024, there is an open complaint regarding lighting issues.

The building has faced significant compliance challenges, particularly regarding illegal conversions and occupancy issues, with the most recent inspections in August 2024 resulting in violations related to unauthorized occupancy and work without permits, including concerns about an altered first-floor occupancy as a wholesale warehouse and a fire escape obstruction. While the building has shown regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, there have been notable safety and maintenance violations documented in 2019, including issues with fire safety equipment and various building systems. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024.

The building's recent history shows some improvement in maintenance communication, with successful closure of various violations through 2023, though several critical violations remain currently open. The property underwent a significant complaint investigation in 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy and modifications, resulting in multiple active Environmental Control Board violations with pending penalties. The building's systems have shown persistent maintenance issues requiring repeated tenant complaints for resolution, particularly affecting heating systems and electrical infrastructure, as evidenced by the pattern of complaints and violations over recent years.
