Augrented Insights Report for 545 East 13th Street

The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 545 East 13th Street in the East Village, owned by Luis Romero, has experienced recurring rodent issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in March 2025 documenting both mouse and rat sightings. While the property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, results have been mixed, with some inspections passing while others noted rat activity or failed for various reasons.

The building has a concerning active violation from October 2024 related to facade maintenance, with the Environmental Control Board imposing a $6,250 penalty for failure to comply with a Commissioner's order regarding facade repairs. Additional structural concerns were raised in 2023-2024, including a failure to maintain building code compliance and an unfiled 2022 external low-pressure inspection violation. The building had three Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in June 2018 related to fire safety and maintenance of bulkhead areas, though these were certified as corrected by August 2018.

Remarkably, despite the various maintenance issues noted, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past six years from 2019 through 2025, according to the official reporting system. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections and responded to complaints, though the frequency of rodent-related service requests suggests an ongoing challenge with pest management. The facade violation from 2023-2024 represents the most significant current concern, with an associated penalty for failing to file a correction certificate despite the prior issuance of a violation in 2023 regarding building maintenance issues.
