Augrented Insights Report for 223 East 5th Street

The 16-unit building at 223 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Ray Seelall, is a 5-story old-law tenement constructed in 1875. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with emergency complaints in 2018, 2022, and most recently in January 2025. In June 2025, there was also a complaint about indoor air quality due to construction dust, which was resolved through communication with the property management.

Multiple violations related to fire escape maintenance were documented in December 2021, including defective ladders and rust issues, although these were subsequently addressed. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections with consistent compliance, though there was one failed inspection in February 2025 for "Other Reasons." Significant enforcement actions include several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations against EC Framing Inc. in 2024 for failing to comply with previous orders and maintain adequate housekeeping during construction work, resulting in penalties totaling $5,875.

The property has undergone multiple Tenant Safety Inspections between 2021 and 2024, with various violations being recorded and resolved. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven filing periods from 2019 to 2025. While the building has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, including heating system failures and construction-related issues, many of these violations have been addressed through inspections and enforcement actions.
