Augrented Insights Report for 169 Avenue A

The 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 169 Avenue A in the East Village, owned by Robert Kantor, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in both August 2024 and February 2025 regarding lack of these essential services throughout the building. These complaints remain concerning, particularly as HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in both instances.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with multiple violations documented in Apartment 8 during 2022-2023, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), damaged plaster surfaces, and non-compliant kitchen cabinets. The property had a notable security concern in 2022 when flower pots were obstructing fire escape access, warranting a violation.

Recent building history includes a 2024 Department of Buildings complaint about unpermitted work resulting in an active violation regarding a shed structure constructed with combustible materials. While rodent inspections conducted between 2022-2025 generally passed, there was one failed inspection in January 2023 for "Other Reasons." The building's bedbug history shows minimal occurrences since 2017, with only one verified infestation between 2017-2018, all subsequent years reporting zero infestations. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues as documented in multiple HPD complaints, including problems with paint/plaster, electrical systems, and unsanitary conditions in common areas, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being found.
