Augrented Insights Report for 131 Orchard Street

131 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 16-unit converted New Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Sassan Mahfar and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns about heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2024 (January 3 and 20) and 2022 (January 21, February 2, and February 22).

More recently, there have been significant concerns about indoor air quality, with three chemical vapor/gas/odor complaints filed in September 2023 through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and a pest infestation complaint in February 2024 that HPD could not investigate due to access issues. The building has a documented history of various maintenance violations that affect both safety and habitability. These include problems with doors, windows, and emergency egress systems, particularly the fire escape ladders which were cited in 2022 and 2021 with violations noting broken, defective, or missing metal treads.

A C-class violation was issued in 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule. The property has also faced challenges with rodent control, experiencing rat activity as recently as 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing but showing a history of failed compliance in December 2024. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record in its most recent filings (2024-2025) and previous inspections showed generally good results, the persistence of heat and hot water issues, air quality concerns, and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
