Augrented Insights Report for 156 East 7th Street

156 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 32-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Richard Podpirka. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a recurring problem with heat and hot water during late 2024, with multiple tenant complaints documented between October and November 2024.

More recently, in April 2025, there are open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold and ceiling plaster issues. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny in 2024-2025, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints and active ECB violations related to unauthorized construction work, including the controversial conversion of Apartment A5 into a Class A apartment and improper gas line installations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in April 2025, June 2024, and October 2023, there were periods of rodent activity requiring bait deployment throughout 2023.

Historical maintenance issues include an infestation of mice in Apartment B6 documented in January 2024, along with various code violations requiring repairs to ceilings and other surfaces. The building has maintained an unusual pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple duplicate reports suggesting systemic issues with the building's heating system. Despite these challenges, the building has shown some regulatory compliance, with recent inspections indicating improvements in certain areas, though multiple active ECB violations related to work without permits remain pending resolution as of 2025.
