171 Avenue B is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lespmha Hdfc. The East Village property has experienced several notable maintenance issues, particularly in early 2020 when multiple complaints were filed from January 23-31, including both emergency and non-emergency reports of ceiling damage (both paint/plaster) and plumbing problems (including a toilet issue and a slow water leak) in Apartment 1A. These violations were officially certified as corrected by March 4, 2020. The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, indicating effective pest management practices.
Recent records show the property has demonstrated responsible bedbug management, with all annual reports from 2019-2025 showing zero infested units or pest incidents. In 2023 and 2024, the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the late filing of bedbug reports, though these were subsequently resolved. The most recent violation occurred in April 2024, while previous violations from 2020 primarily related to water damage and ceiling issues have been addressed. The building's permit history shows two permits issued in June 2019 for electrical work, with no record of related violations. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with particular attention paid to rodent control, while indicating some historical challenges with plumbing and water-related issues that appear to have been addressed.
