Augrented Insights Report for 199 Avenue A

199 Avenue A is a 4-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village and owned by Howard Jacobson. Built in 1900, the property has experienced significant ongoing maintenance and pest control issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent problem, with multiple rat activity inspections recorded between 2024 and 2025, including inspections in June 2025 that confirmed rat activity despite prior bait applications.

The building has also faced recurring pest issues, with several 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests in 2022 and 2023, though some inspections were unable to gain access. The property currently has multiple open violations from an August 2024 inspection, all classified as Class B, affecting apartments 5 and 9. These violations include issues with self-closing doors, smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and excessive storage concerns. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report in July 2025 showing one unit affected and previously confirmed cases in 2022 and 2020.

Earlier complaints in 2022 regarding plumbing issues (toilet) and window pane problems were marked as emergencies but have since been resolved. A 2019 complaint regarding illegal conversion of commercial space was investigated but resulted in no violations being confirmed. The building's maintenance record demonstrates regular inspections and some attempted interventions to address the documented issues, including bait application for rodent control and responses to various housing maintenance code violations. However, the persistence of pest problems and multiple open violations related to life safety systems suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
