Augrented Insights Report for 137 East Houston Street

The five-story, eight-unit tenement building at 137 East Houston Street, owned by Jeanne Jackson, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its 1900 construction. Most recently, in 2024 and 2025, the building has maintained good rodent control, passing multiple inspections with no signs of rat activity after an initial detection in 2020.

The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations or eradications from 2020 to 2024. However, there are significant structural concerns recorded in 2019-2020, including active violations for exterior building wall maintenance due to observed vertical cracks above windows and other façade issues, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The building has experienced several environment-related complaints, notably in 2018 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, and multiple structural stability complaints in early 2020 that were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection.

More recent health department complaints in 2022 and 2023 relating to smoking and food protection were addressed and closed. Two notable complaints were filed in 2024: one regarding work without a permit, which was referred to consumer affairs, and another for a food establishment issue, both of which have been closed. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing inspections for rodent control in recent years and has shown no recurring pest management challenges.
