Augrented Insights Report for 528 East 5th Street

528 East 5th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, owned by Silvia Bravo and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced ongoing heating and plumbing issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, particularly notable in December 2024 when both heating and water supply issues were reported. These heating system problems are corroborated by two active ECB violations from 2024 regarding a Weilmclain Ultra 299 boiler that was found inoperative and unregistered, with significant penalties imposed.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage identified in mid-2024, and rodent-related issues that prompted multiple inspections and bait applications between 2024-2025, though recent inspections as of July 2025 have shown improvement with passed results. Additional building-specific concerns include multiple door-related violations (self-closing door issues) documented in 2023-2024, some of which were associated with fire safety concerns. A notable historical issue involved illegal hotel room usage in 2019 (regarding Apartment 3B), which resulted in several violations regarding egress, fire safety, and occupancy requirements, though these violations were subsequently resolved.

The building's 2024 bedbug report shows no infestation during that reporting period, continuing a pattern of no bedbug issues reported since 2020. Recent inspection activity suggests the property is actively undergoing maintenance and scrutiny, with various violations being addressed, though the persistence of heating and boiler-related issues remains a significant concern as of the latest available data. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to complaints, with various violations being certified as corrected, while others, notably the ongoing heating system issues, continue to require attention.
