Augrented Insights Report for 40 Avenue B

40 Avenue B is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Steven Croman. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, plumbing problems, and appliance issues.

Between January and February 2024 alone, there were several complaints about water leaks (including damp spots, slow leaks, and heavy flow), plumbing issues (toilets and sinks), and roofing problems, many of which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building has also faced occupancy-related violations, with multiple complaints between 2022-2024 regarding illegal use of space and lack of proper Certificate of Occupancy, resulting in substantial penalties including an active $10,000 violation from May 2024 related to unauthorized rear roof extensions. Additional concerns have been documented through various inspections and violations, including a pest infestation in May 2023 (specifically cited for apartment 4W), heating issues in December 2022, and several building maintenance violations related to garbage disposal, fire escape access, and door functionality between 2018-2023.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2023-2025, with varying results including reports of rat activity in July 2024. However, recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvement, with passed rodent inspections in January and July 2025. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in annual reports from 2019-2024, showing no evidence of infestations during the reporting periods.
