Augrented Insights Report for 251 East Houston Street

The building at 251 East Houston Street is a 3-story, 3-unit converted Class A property built in 1900, currently owned by Gina Argento. The building has undergone significant maintenance and compliance scrutiny between 2020 and 2025. Notably, between late 2020 and early 2021, there were several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to building maintenance, particularly concerning window cornices, decorative lintels, and brickwork conditions.

While many of these violations were ultimately resolved or dismissed, there was one active ECB violation as of October 2023 related to missing mortar joints and stone cracks. The building previously faced challenges with rodent sightings, with complaints in 2020 and 2021, though subsequent inspections have shown consistent compliance with Department of Health and Mental Hygiene regulations, with all rodent-related inspections passing since 2021. The property has maintained an active and compliant bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units.

Recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have shown consistent passing results, indicating improved property maintenance and compliance with city regulations. The building's violation history includes an April 2021 Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to file an annual bedbug report, though this requirement appears to have been rectified in subsequent years. The most recent rodent monitoring inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, suggesting ongoing attention to pest management and building maintenance.
