Augrented Insights Report for 140 Essex Street

The 8-story, 93-unit residential building at 140 Essex Street in the Lower East Side, owned by Emily Astrof, was constructed in 2018 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues. Most recently, in mid-2025, there are open complaints regarding the building's ventilation system and electrical lighting problems. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages in both 2024 and early 2025, with the February 2025 incident classified as emergency-level.

Four apartments (2J, 2K, 2L, and 4E) were found to have issues with self-closing doors in 2023, along with documented pest infestations in apartments 3E and 4E that were addressed by June 2023. The building experienced both rat activity and pest control issues in 2020-2021, though recent rodent inspections from 2022-2025 have passed without issues. During construction in 2019, there were multiple safety and compliance concerns, including issues with pedestrian protection and scaffold safety, resulting in several violations.

The building's owners also faced challenges with timely filing of energy benchmarking reports in 2019-2022, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. More recent maintenance patterns show ongoing concerns with building systems, particularly regarding temperature control and electrical issues, with multiple emergency-level complaints in recent years. The building has maintained regular rodent control inspections, with most recent results showing compliance, though there was some history of pest problems that required intervention. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicated one infested unit that was successfully treated.
