Augrented Insights Report for 121 Chrystie Street

The five-story, 16-unit building at 121 Chrystie Street, owned by Yim Tsang, has experienced several significant issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, as of May 2025, there are unresolved violations related to structural concerns, including a leaning rear chimney and spalling/cracked stucco on the north elevation, which require immediate attention according to a Commissioner’s Order.

The building has also recently faced multiple open violations from December 2023, including maintenance issues such as a leaking roof above the bulkhead ceiling on the fifth floor, problems with self-closing doors, and various public hall repairs needed. Rodent inspections have shown inconsistent results in 2024-2025, with recent inspections reporting rat activity, though previous inspections between 2022-2024 generally passed.

The property has a history of environmental and safety concerns, including a 2020 violation regarding improper boiler installation and multiple violations for failure to maintain code compliance for boiler inspections between 2018-2023. While a bedbug report filed in 2021 indicated no infestations during the prior period, the building's recent maintenance record, including an open violation for failing to file an annual bedbug report as of April 2024, suggests ongoing pest management oversight. The building's permit history shows several plumbing and boiler maintenance permits issued between 2018-2019, with one related to a revoked master plumber license, though the current status of these repairs is uncertain given recent violations.
