Augrented Insights Report for 85 Ludlow Street

85 Ludlow Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Sherman Mei. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent violations from 2024 indicating concerns about unsanitary conditions, including pest issues and problems with garbage/recycling storage.

A notable cluster of complaints occurred in April 2022, when multiple tenants reported cooking gas-related issues, though these complaints were processed as duplicates of an original report. Between 2021-2022, there were heating and hot water system emergencies, and problems with an electric range were reported. The building faced multiple violations in 2024 related to fire safety, including defective fire retardant materials in public areas and issues with self-closing doors.

More recently, in July 2023, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted plumbing work, and an active ECB violation from July 2023 concerns unauthorized gas piping modifications in a first-floor apartment with a penalty of $1,250 imposed. The year 2024 saw the building's first emergency repair needs since December 2021, though the specifics of these emergencies were not detailed in available records. Bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations, and rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2021 to 2025 have consistently passed, with only one initial inspection in June 2022 resulting in failure for "Other Reasons."
