Augrented Insights Report for 98 Clinton Street

98 Clinton Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building located in the Lower East Side, owned by James Cheng and built in 1910. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in late 2022 when multiple complaints were filed on December 25, including reports of water leaks with heavy flow, paint/plaster issues, and unsanitary conditions related to pests. These complaints were subsequently addressed, with the water leak classified as an emergency and the other issues marked as non-emergency.

A more recent inspection in April 2023 revealed two notable violations: a defective self-closing door at the first story vestibule and debris (a mattress) in the fifth-story public hall. The property has a concerning history of illegal conversions and safety violations, particularly between 2020-2021, including issues with egress, work without permits, and problems with an unauthorized enclosed space in Apartment 5. There were also multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2019-2021, though all subsequent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units.

The building's fire safety received attention in 2021 when the front fire escape drop ladder was found in a hazardous position, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Despite these issues, recent records from 2023-2025 show consistent passing inspections for rodent control, with no current infestations reported. The property underwent significant scrutiny between 2020-2022 with multiple violations and penalties, including for removing or defacing a vacate order and unauthorized occupancy. However, all these historical violations have been resolved, and the building maintains regular rodent inspections with no recent pest issues.
