Augrented Insights Report for 27 Essex Street

27 Essex Street is a 6-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Chinatown, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jason Hom. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding building maintenance and sanitation. Most notably, a series of rodent-related complaints were filed between 2023-2024, with some inspections resulting in health violations, though recent inspections in 2023 passed compliance for rodent issues. The building faced significant heat and hot water problems in 2020, with multiple emergency complaints indicating these utilities affected the entire building, though inspections found heat and hot water had been restored by the time of inspection.

More recent issues include a *building shaking/vibrating/structural stability* complaint in October 2024, resulting in an ECB violation. The property has also accumulated several outstanding Department of Buildings violations, including failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2023. Between 2019-2021, the building underwent scrutiny for illegal occupancy and conversion issues, with a 2019 investigation revealing unauthorized use of the cellar level as an adult physical culture establishment/massage parlor, though these violations were eventually resolved. The building has maintained a good track record regarding bedbug infestation monitoring, with all four annual reports from 2021-2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Recent permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and improvements, with permits issued for plumbing and electrical work in 2018 and 2020, indicating the owner has been addressing some infrastructure needs. Residing in this building would present some challenges, given the history of utility issues and rodent problems, despite recent improvements in maintenance compliance. The most recent structural stability complaint from 2024 and outstanding inspection violations suggest there are still some unresolved building maintenance concerns. However, the consistent tracking and reporting of bedbug inspections showing zero cases is a positive aspect of the building's maintenance record.
