Augrented Insights Report for 209 East 5th Street

The five-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building at 209 East 5th Street in the East Village, built in 1910 and currently owned by Russell Cooper, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of pest-related problems, with multiple reports of rat sightings in early 2021, and ongoing rodent inspections in 2024-2025 showing mixed results, including a failed inspection in February 2025 citing "Other Reasons." The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, evidenced by multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2020 and 2021, and violations related to inadequate heat supply documented in 2018 for apartments 8R and 3R. Recent inspections and filings suggest some improvement in overall building conditions. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have generally passed, though there was a report of rat activity in August 2024.

The building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods from 2022 to 2024, with no confirmed infestations or eradications. A significant complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage was filed in August 2022 and closed in September 2023 without violations being issued. Additional maintenance issues have been addressed through violations that required correction, including repairs needed for bathroom tiles and plaster surfaces in apartment 8R, and the removal of an illegal double-cylinder lock at the rear building entrance. The most recent inspection in September 2023 resulted in a violation for not posting required contact information for building staff, though this was certified as corrected in October 2023.

The building has experienced various complaint types over the years, including issues with construction dust in 2021, wall conditions, and multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests. While many historical violations have been closed through proper certification, the pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep, particularly in relation to heating systems and pest control. Recent inspection results for 2023-2025 show improved compliance in rodent-related matters, though the building has failed one rodent inspection this year. The building's bedbug report filings from 2022-2024 indicate no infested units during this period, suggesting successful pest management efforts in this regard.
