Augrented Insights Report for 197 East 7th Street

197 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Kenneth Wentworth and located in the East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurring heating system problems in 2021-2022 (three separate incidents) and multiple door/window-related issues in 2023-2024.

Most notably, there is currently an open violation (as of August 2023) regarding rust and paint maintenance needs on the building's front and fire escape areas. The building had several significant gas-related violations in December 2020 involving unpermitted gas work in Apartment 5, though these were eventually resolved with imposed penalties totaling $12,250. More recent concerns include ongoing rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections and bait applications from July 2024 through July 2025, with the most recent inspection showing rat activity.

The building's system functionality has been a recurring theme in complaints, with issues regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system persisting through 2023-2024. While the building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024, the maintenance history suggests challenges with prompt resolution of various building systems and infrastructure issues. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has frequently encountered access issues during inspections in 2024, which may indicate some communication challenges in addressing resident complaints.
