Augrented Insights Report for 51 Orchard Street

51 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chinatown, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Zeng Qiang Guo. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints recorded in 2023-2025, including building-wide outages that required emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Most recently, in March 2025, there were three emergency complaints about building-wide heat/hot water issues. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including mold issues (particularly in 2023-2024), a confirmed mouse infestation in Apartment 6 (December 2023), and multiple violations related to Apartment 8 (October 2023) including problems with doors, windows, mold, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, flooring, and a leaking bathroom ceiling. Historical records from 2018-2020 indicate prior violations and enforcement actions, including unauthorized construction work in apartments and modifications to emergency exit paths.

The building is currently undergoing rodent control measures, with several bait application and inspection visits recorded in 2024, and a compliance inspection passed in May 2025. There were also multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints in 2022-2023, along with individual apartment complaints that were either verified as corrected or closed due to access issues. The bedbug reporting for the past two years (2023-2024) indicates no infestation or eradication events, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 show some ongoing pest management efforts.
