Augrented Insights Report for 173 Avenue A

173 Avenue A is a 6-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Martin Baumrind. The building has experienced consistent maintenance challenges over the past two years, with recurring issues primarily related to heat and water systems. In late 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

Similar access issues were noted for multiple plumbing and water supply complaints throughout 2024. The building has also faced some structural and safety concerns, including a November 2024 ECB violation regarding debris accumulation on the exterior wall with a $1,250 penalty, and various interior maintenance issues such as broken panic bars, defective tiles, and a problematic rooftop re-entry door identified in late 2024. More positively, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years from 2019 to 2025.

While there have been rodent activity reports in 2024, recent inspections in early 2025 showed improved conditions, passing rodent inspections in January and July 2025. The property has undergone some permitted work in 2018-2021, with plumbing-related permits issued. Additionally, there are two ongoing complaints as of 2024: one regarding food poisoning and another about unsanitary pigeon conditions, though they remain unresolved at this time. The building's management has shown responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by multiple certified corrections between August and December 2024, including addressing issues in apartment 18 related to roach infestation, window repairs, and ceiling painting.
