Augrented Insights Report for 157 Avenue C

157 Avenue C is a four-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1900 in Manhattan's East Village, currently managed by Polisher Management LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning mold and safety systems. Most recently in 2025, there was a safety-related complaint about the fire escape that could not be fully inspected due to access issues.

In late 2023, significant violations were documented in apartment 3C regarding life safety equipment, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with self-closing doors. Earlier complaints from 2022 to 2024 had flagged mold issues, though inspections often faced access challenges. The building's emergency response systems received attention in 2023, with violations certified for correction. The property has a notable history of food establishment-related complaints between 2020 and 2024, with multiple reports of businesses operating without proper permits, though these were eventually addressed.

In 2020, three active ECB violations were recorded regarding unauthorized construction, electrical work, and occupancy issues, with substantial penalties totaling $33,500 not yet showing as resolved in 2025. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in October 2023, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past six years. While some maintenance issues persist, including the fire escape complaint in 2025, the building has maintained basic compliance with housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by passing recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025. The most recent permit issuance in 2019 appears to be for emergency work.
