Augrented Insights Report for 188 Orchard Street

188 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 17-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Sion Misrahi. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly notable in recent months with three emergency complaints between October 2024 and January 2025. There are currently two active concerns: an open water leak complaint from December 2024, and an active illegal vent/exhaust complaint from May 2025. The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, including toilet problems (November 2024) and multiple water supply violations in 2022.

Significant safety concerns have been addressed, such as a 2023 ECB violation regarding building maintenance with associated penalties, and prior boiler violations in 2022 that were resolved. The building's maintenance record reveals periodic pest control issues, with the most recent pest complaint being resolved in November 2024. While rodent inspections have generally passed in recent years, there were notable failures in June 2024 and September 2024. All six annual bedbug reports from 2020 to 2025 showed zero infested units.

The property has undergone various improvements as evidenced by multiple permits issued in 2019, including plumbing and electrical work. Historical violations from 2018 indicate past issues with window guards, door self-closing mechanisms, wall conditions, and a fire escape window lock, all of which were properly addressed. The building's recent history from 2022 to 2025 shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water-related systems and heating. While many historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of recurring heating issues and the recent water leak complaint indicates continuing infrastructure concerns. The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has addressed most housing code violations in a timely manner, though some recent issues remain open or were only recently resolved.
