Augrented Insights Report for 235 East 5th Street

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 235 East 5th Street in the East Village, constructed in 1876, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past two years. Between May 2024 and May 2025, there were multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints, with several instances of inspectors being denied access for verification.

In addition, there have been two rat sightings in May 2025, following a pattern of rodent activity inspections showing varying results between 2023-2025, with the most recent inspections in July 2025 passing. The building has faced several significant violations and maintenance issues, particularly affecting Apartment 3. These include a 2024 citation for hot water exceeding 130 degrees, a 2024 open violation regarding defective self-closing doors, and ongoing concerns about a partition wall allegedly constructed without proper permits.

The boiler system has been a recurring area of concern, with active violations as of October 2024 for excessive soot conditions and past complaints about defective or inoperative equipment. Multiple complaints in 2025 regarding work without permits suggest potentially unauthorized construction activity, though several recent complaints have been marked as "Unable To Gain Access" during inspections. While the building has maintained an active record of bedbug-free inspections between 2021-2024, the heating and plumbing systems appear to require ongoing attention.
