Augrented Insights Report for 533 East 5th Street

533 East 5th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building in Manhattan's East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Robert Perl. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concern around cooking gas supply problems in 2019, including at least two emergency complaints to HPD and one confirmed violation in unit 15 regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures.

More recently, in 2023, the building faced serious regulatory challenges when violations were issued regarding an unauthorized conversion of apartment #16 into transient occupancy, resulting in multiple violations concerning fire safety systems, means of egress, and improper use of the dwelling unit. These violations were marked as resolved, though they indicate significant previous non-compliance with building safety codes.

The property has maintained a generally acceptable habitability record in other areas, with no reported bedbug infestations across multiple annual reports from 2019 through 2024, and consistent passing results in regular rodent inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025. However, there have been two concerning issues regarding building systems in the most recent years: a June 2025 violation regarding the boiler system, and a June 2023 violation concerning illegal hotel room use in the building, both resulting in Oath violations served. The building's violation history also shows a pattern of responsive maintenance interventions, particularly regarding cooking gas supply issues in 2019 and door closure problems in unit 1RW in 2018, which were eventually resolved.
