Augrented Insights Report for 219 East 5th Street

The five-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement at 219 East 5th Street, built in 1900 and currently owned by Anh Do, has experienced significant maintenance and pest control issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced persistent pest problems, with multiple complaints and violations regarding rodent and cockroach infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 1R. Between April 2024 and June 2025, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, flooring issues, water leaks, and general maintenance problems.

The property has also accumulated several Environmental Control Board violations, with active penalties for issues including an unregistered boiler ($625), water damage affecting ceilings ($500), and various maintenance concerns. Noteworthy safety-related violations include a December 2024 finding of an ungrounded electrical system and multiple instances of non-compliance with tenant protection plan posting requirements. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, with some violations remaining open since 2023-2024, including problems with brickwork causing water damage and missing decorative elements.

While some violations have been resolved and dismissed over time, such as a 2020 violation for failure to certify correction on hazardous conditions, the overall record indicates ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 show initial activity and rat sightings, though more recent compliance inspections have passed. The building has not reported any bedbug infestations since 2020, and all recent Bedbug Reporting submissions show zero infested units.
