Augrented Insights Report for 161 Allen Street

161 Allen Street is a 7-story, 13-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Thomas Yu. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent inspection in May 2024 revealing multiple violations in Apartment 7A, including roof leaks, painting requirements, and problems with self-closing doors. Historical records show recurring water-related issues, with complaints about slow leaks and mold in 2022, as well as garbage storage concerns in 2021.

The building's elevator system faced a single-device violation in 2019-2020, and there have been three significant Environmental Control Board violations between 2022-2023 related to exterior maintenance and reporting requirements, though these were resolved with respective penalties. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019-2024. Regular rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management.

The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the certification of several issues between June 2023 and 2024, including repairs to the roof leak and various maintenance items. However, an active violation related to the FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report required submission from 2022 remains outstanding as of 2023. While recent rodent and pest control inspections are promising, the building's historical maintenance record suggests ongoing attention is required to address recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues.
