Augrented Insights Report for 198 Avenue A

198 Avenue A is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Antonio Cesare. The building has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about chemical vapors and odors, including a sewage odor in February 2025. Safety concerns have been documented, particularly regarding fire escape maintenance and emergency systems, with multiple inspections in 2025 noting issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire escape conditions.

Notably, violation notices from December 2024 indicate ongoing concerns in apartment 5A related to fire egress and heating systems, with open violations regarding obstructing bars on windows and defective radiator components. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including multiple 2025 complaints about roofing issues, water leaks, and mold concerns. Several Department of Buildings investigations in 2025 addressed plumbing and electrical issues, though inspectors often reported insufficient access to verify conditions.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 suggest serious maintenance lapses, including a $4,000 citation for unauthorized electrical work in apartment 5A. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, there was a notable "Rat Activity" result in November 2021. The bedbug reporting history shows zero infestations reported in recent years, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no infested units.
