Augrented Insights Report for 515 East 5th Street

The 24-unit, 5-story tenement building at 515 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Alex Laszlo and built in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in September 2023, there were multiple water-related complaints including heavy flow and damp spots, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with complaints about lack of heat and hot water in 2018, 2020, and 2021 affecting different areas and requiring emergency responses. More concerning is the recent inspection history showing difficulties with access for inspections related to boiler and vent/exhaust issues in early 2025, both marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." The building's maintenance record shows some structural and safety compliance issues, including two self-closing door violations in apartments 3C and 3D4C (2018 and 2023 respectively), and a history of permit-related concerns regarding a vertical extension work completed under an expired permit.

While recent bedbug filings (2022-2024) indicate no infestations, and earlier rodent inspections show passing results, the building has had multiple rat activity reports in late 2024 and some failed inspection results related to other reasons. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations since 2020.
