Augrented Insights Report for 309 East Houston Street

309 East Houston Street is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Issac Katz. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with a significant cluster of problems documented in early 2023, including violations associated with flooring, doors, windows, plumbing (bathtub/shower and sink), and appliance issues. More recent inspections from September 2024 revealed safety concerns in apartments 2C and 2E regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and self-closing doors, respectively.

The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with two units affected in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), though all instances have been classified as eradicated. Previous violations and concerns include serious safety issues documented in 2021 related to gas systems, including missing spring covers and insufficient ventilation, which resulted in penalties. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections with mostly passing results, though a failed inspection was recorded in November 2023.

More recent maintenance issues appear to be more focused on individual unit problems rather than systemic building-wide concerns. The Department of Buildings has documented various complaints over the years, including work without permits in 2023 and historical issues with the boiler system in 2021. The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, and recent rodent inspections generally show good results, though the building had a higher pattern of violations and complaints between 2018-2024 compared to earlier years.
