Augrented Insights Report for 38 Avenue C

The 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 38 Avenue C in the East Village, owned by Arik Lifshitz and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there was a heavy water leak reported and subsequently resolved, and multiple non-emergency maintenance issues were documented in February 2025 including problems with flooring, plumbing (radiator), doors/windows, electrical systems, and various instances of wall paint/plaster concerns.

In June 2024, violations were issued for unit 2W regarding defective ventilation, carbon monoxide detector, and smoke detector systems, though these were certified as corrected by July-August 2024. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges over the years, including a 2023 heat/hot water complaint where HPD could not gain access for inspection, and multiple food establishment-related complaints in 2024-2025. The building's history includes some concerning issues such as an unpermitted sign installation in 2024 and a period of rat activity detection in late 2021, though subsequent rodent inspections have consistently passed.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations. Environmental Control Board violations remain active as of 2024, including issues related to an unpermitted sign installation, failure to comply with previous orders, and problems with the boiler room ventilation and maintenance from 2019 that carry respective penalties. The building's permit records show multiple permits issued in 2020 and 2021, suggesting some regulated work was performed during that period.
