Augrented Insights Report for 158 Avenue C

158 Avenue C in the East Village is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Steven Croman. The building has experienced significant heat and hot water issues during the winter months of late 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November and December, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in multiple apartments (1, 2, and 3).

Violations were also issued for self-closing door issues in Apartment 2 and for obstructed fire escape egress due to flower pots on 2nd and 3rd story balconies. The building has had consistent rodent control challenges, with several inspections in 2024-2025 showing rat activity, though most recent inspections in June 2025 indicated compliance. The property has a history of egress-related violations, particularly in 2018 when multiple complaints were filed regarding blocked emergency exits.

While the building's recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, and the most recent inspections for compliance in 2024-2025 have generally passed, the persistent heating system issues during winter 2023-2024 and the recurring rodent activity remain concerning patterns. Two tenant safety inspections conducted in 2024 found no violations, suggesting some recent improvement in building conditions. The building also faced penalties in 2022 for unauthorized signage installation, though this issue appears to have been resolved.
