AI summary · updated June 2026

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 20 Avenue C in the East Village, owned by 18-22 Ave C Realty LLC, was completed in 1997 and has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices throughout its history. The building experienced two notable incidents in early 2021 involving safety and maintenance concerns: a smoke detector issue that couldn't be inspected and a general janitorial concern that was investigated but resulted in no violations. Both complaints were ultimately closed, with the smoke detector issue requiring a new complaint for further investigation if the condition persisted. Since that time, the building has maintained a clean record with no repeat complaints regarding these issues.

The property has consistently passed all rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, with each of the nine inspections showing a "Passed" result, indicating effective pest management practices. Additionally, the building has an exceptional record regarding bedbug incidents, with the most recent seven annual filings (from 2018-2019 through 2024-2025) reporting zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The building's bedbug-free status over multiple reporting periods suggests proactive management and effective pest control measures in place.
