Augrented Insights Report for 163 Ludlow Street

Situated in Manhattan's Lower East Side, 163 Ludlow Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Alex Laszlo. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints made in early 2025 and 2023, all of which were reportedly resolved. The property has faced significant pest control challenges, particularly in 2023, with three separate complaints about roach infestations in apartments 3A and 4B, leading to violations being issued for apartment 4B regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detection systems.

While the building's bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 have consistently passed, with only two instances of rat activity noted in 2020. The Department of Buildings records reveal several concerning issues, including a 2018 case of unauthorized transient occupancy in apartment 2D, which resulted in multiple ECB violations relating to fire safety systems and means of egress, though these were ultimately resolved. The building underwent multiple after-hours work complaints in 2021, though inspections found no violations.

More recently, in 2022, an inspection revealed an obstruction of fire escape egress from the 5th-floor balcony. The property has maintained regular compliance with NYC's rodent control requirements, with inspections showing consistent passing results since 2022, and its most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 also passed. The building's maintenance history shows responsive management to most violations, though access issues have occasionally prevented inspections from being conducted promptly.
