Augrented Insights Report for 16 1st Avenue

The five-story, eight-unit building at 16 1st Avenue in Manhattan's East Village, owned by Wayne Yau, has a history dating back to 1900 and has experienced several significant events over recent years. Between 2021 and 2022, the building faced multiple serious issues primarily related to heating and hot water systems, including non-functioning heat and hot water in Apartment 2, which was categorized as a Class C violation due to inadequate heat and hot water supply.

The building also underwent several construction-related inspections and complaints regarding work contrary to stop work orders in 2022, with one active violation related to occupancy discrepancies in Apartments 1 & 2, which were found operating as offices contrary to the final Certificate of Occupancy. More recent records from 2023-2025 show improved conditions, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), and passing results in all rodent inspections conducted between 2021 and 2025.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in 2021 revealed various maintenance issues including problems with electrical systems, water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and mold, though these violations were subsequently closed as of May 2021. The building's recent history shows more stability, with regular rodent inspections passing consistently, and no new significant violations recorded since 2022, though there were multiple vaccine mandate compliance issues in early 2022 that were addressed through standard enforcement channels.
