Augrented Insights Report for 170 Avenue A

170 Avenue A is a 6-story, 25-unit residential building in the East Village, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Tara Dexter. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints throughout 2024-2025, including a notable cluster of emergency complaints between October and November 2024 regarding system failures affecting the entire building. More recently, in early 2025, there were additional complaints about heat/hot water issues, one of which was marked as "entire building" and closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.

The property has also faced several maintenance challenges, including an open unsanitary condition complaint from November 2024 regarding garbage/recycling storage, as well as violations identified in November 2024 requiring repairs to the north wall at the 2nd story public hall for both paint and fire retardant material concerns. The building has a documented history of various maintenance and safety issues, including a significant infestation problem in 2022 (mice and roaches in apartment 2), hot water issues in apartment 9 (June 2024), and concerns about gas supply in apartment 17 (July 2024). There have been multiple Department of Buildings violations related to maintenance and safety, including a 2023 violation regarding improper toilet installation in apartment 14. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicated the presence of rat activity, prompting bait application.

While the building has maintained compliant status in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years, the persistent heat and maintenance issues suggest ongoing management challenges. The building's history also includes several construction-related complaints between 2018-2023, with violations regarding scaffolding safety and sidewalk protection. These issues have generally been resolved, though there are currently active violations from 2021 regarding failure to maintain building code compliance related to decorative stone conditions. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices, indicating a pattern of ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that suggest the need for continued monitoring of building conditions and management response times.
