Augrented Insights Report for 509 East 5th Street

509 East 5th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit tenement building owned by David Kuperberg and constructed in 1900 in the East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and April 2024 for building-wide problems. While some complaints were resolved through inspections, including one recent violation for hot water exceeding 130°F in Apartment C (April 2024), others remained problematic, with HPD frequently unable to access units for verification.

The building's rodent situation has been variable, with recent inspections in 2024 showing mixed results, including a failed August 2024 inspection for "Other Reasons" and rat activity noted in September 2024. However, recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvement, with both July and January 2025 inspections passing. Historically, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019.

While there was a concerning incident in 2022 regarding air conditioning units obstructing fire escapes on the 4th and 5th stories (Class B violations), this was resolved through certification. A certificate of occupancy complaint from 2021 was also investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has consistently filed its bedbug reports showing zero infestations for several years, with the most recent reports in 2023 and 2024 indicating no issues.
