Augrented Insights Report for 217 Bowery

The 6-story, 10-unit converted New Law tenement at 217 Bowery, built in 1900 and currently owned by Robin Levine, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly related to building systems and safety requirements. Most notably, there are active violations regarding the gas-fired boiler and a historical violation from 2021 concerning improper kitchen equipment installation in a restaurant within the building.

The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing pest control matters, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and regular rodent inspections showing passing results throughout 2022-2025. Recent service complaints include a food poison incident in 2024 and a slow water leak in 2024, though these were resolved without violations.

The building experienced multiple safety and maintenance inspections between 2021-2025, with all inspections related to rodent control passing successfully, and most housing maintenance code complaints being closed without violations. The boiler situation appears to be an ongoing concern, with violations related to its registration and maintenance, though there are frequent inspections showing efforts to maintain compliance.
