Augrented Insights Report for 168 East 7th Street

The 5-story Old Law Tenement at 168 East 7th Street in the East Village, owned by William Ehrlich, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably during September 2024 when the building faced multiple heat and hot water outages affecting all units, resulting in at least 10 emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building currently has several open violations from September 2024 related to inadequate heat and hot water systems, fire safety deficiencies, and public notice requirements.

In June 2025, two plumbing-related complaints led to Partial Stop Work Orders, and there are active violations regarding plumbing work under specific permit numbers. The building has a history of rodent issues, with recent inspections in October 2024 and April 2025 showing rat activity, though previous inspections from late 2024 and early 2025 passed.

Other maintenance concerns include a December 2023 Department of Buildings inspection revealing improper sealing of flue piping in the boiler room, for which a $1,875 penalty was imposed and resolved. Multiple violations from August 2024 remain open, including requirements for proper signage related to smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and building registration information. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with both the heating system and plumbing infrastructure, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems that directly affect resident comfort and safety.
