Located in New York City's East Village neighborhood, 169 Avenue B is a 5-story, 9-unit old law tenement built in 1900, currently owned by Luis Lindao. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with three documented complaints in 2024 alone (October, April, and February), all involving the entire building. Each of these complaints resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. Notably, the building's heating and hot water problems were also reported in earlier years, with an emergency complaint in February 2022 where tenants confirmed restoration of service. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in October 2023, revealing several violations primarily affecting apartment 2A, including issues with bathroom mold, a defective refrigerator door gasket, broken ventilation system, missing GFCI receptacle cover plate, and a problematic self-closing door at the bulkhead. These violations have all been marked as closed following certification in 2024 and 2025.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports since 2019 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. Additionally, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with regular checks showing no issues. The building's management has generally complied with inspection requirements, as evidenced by the regular filing of bedbug reports through 2024, which consistently show no infestations. A minor unsanitary condition regarding garbage/recycling storage was reported and closed in 2023, and a food poisoning incident was investigated in 2021, though deemed isolated. The building's construction and maintenance history is relatively stable, with the most significant ongoing concern being the recurring heating system problems. The property has also demonstrated compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the successful completion of multiple rodent inspections over the years.
