Augrented Insights Report for 156 2nd Avenue

The 31-unit, 6-story tenant building at 156 2nd Avenue in the East Village, owned by West Lake 156-158 Second Avenue LLC, has experienced several significant issues in recent months. As of April 2025, there are ongoing concerns about construction lead dust affecting common areas and apartments. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages throughout early 2025, with several complaints filed in February and March regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, though many of these complaints were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.

There are also active violations from 2024 regarding safety concerns in apartments 5E and 6B, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and various maintenance needs. The building's plumbing system has been a recurring issue, with multiple emergency complaints about radiators and water supply problems in early 2025. The property has an active ECB violation from October 2023 regarding a gas meter installed backwards in apartment 5E, with a penalty of $3,125.00. There have been numerous complaints in 2025 regarding pest control, with multiple bait applications and some inspections indicating rat activity.

The building's bedbug reporting shows zero infestations reported between 2018 and present. Recent inspections for 2024-2025 have confirmed compliance with tenant safety inspections, though earlier violations existed regarding elevator door safety from 2018. The building has undergone several inspections and permit processes in recent years, with permits issued for various work types in 2018-2019. Multiple tenant safety inspections throughout 2024-2025 resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection, and earlier violations related to bedbug reporting compliance from 2024 have been properly filed.
