Augrented Insights Report for 143 Essex Street

143 Essex Street is a 5-story, 18-unit residential building located in the Lower East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Weitzner Shih. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. In October 2023, multiple complaints were filed about inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with inspections confirming violations in some apartments (specifically Apartments 3 and 6) and access issues preventing full verification.

Additional emergency maintenance issues in 2024 included problems with electrical systems (lighting and outlets), water leaks, and refrigerator appliances, though inspections generally found no violations except for one case where access could not be gained for inspection. The building's inspection history shows various code violations in October 2023, including issues with self-closing doors, heating system access, hot water supply, and waste management in the 2nd story garbage area. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in recent years, as shown in the 2025 report covering the 2023-2024 period.

Recent inspections (2023-2025) have generally passed for rodent activity, though there were two instances of rat activity noted in March 2022. A previous Department of Buildings violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report was dismissed in 2022. The building currently has no active violations as of the latest data cut-off, though the pattern of emergency service requests and historical maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building systems may be necessary.
