Augrented Insights Report for 229 East 5th Street

229 East 5th Street, a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1881, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with seven complaints logged between January and April 2025, all affecting the entire building. While some recent complaints were resolved relatively quickly with heat and hot water restoration confirmed by HPD inspectors, others resulted in inspection access issues.

The building also had significant violations in late 2021, including unpermitted electrical work (two active violations), plumbing modifications (active violation), and safety concerns in the boiler room. These violations carried penalties totaling $4,950, including $2,400 for failure to install required GFCI protection for roof HVAC units. A series of Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2022-2024, primarily affecting Apartment 8 (door and light fixture issues) and Apartment 2 (multiple repair and maintenance issues including water leaks), all of which were subsequently closed.

The building's management has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported cases from 2019 through 2024, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, indicating generally good pest control measures. Recent inspection records show regular monitoring and prompt addressing of various maintenance issues, though the recurring heat and hot water problems in 2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building systems. The property is currently owned by Ray Seelall.
