Augrented Insights Report for 168 Elizabeth Street

168 Elizabeth Street is a 6-story, 10-unit old law tenement building in Nolita, built in 1900 and currently owned by Tai Wah Trading Group Inc. The building has experienced persistent water-related issues, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints in recent years, including emergency complaints in October 2023 and February 2023, as well as a notable water leak violation issued in April 2024 specifically affecting Apartment 10 on the 6th floor.

The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to garbage/recycling storage, mold, and pests in late 2022 and 2021. Significant safety concerns emerged in 2024 when violations were issued regarding the fire escape system on the 6th-story balcony, including defective rails that required replacement. The building's recent history reveals several concerning events around 2021-2022, including emergency work required for a collapsed chimney wall and multiple violations related to building maintenance and tenant safety.

These issues led to various Environmental Control Board violations with penalties, though most were subsequently resolved. Recent inspections have shown some improvement, with rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, and no bedbug infestations reported in the last three reporting periods. The building's management has faced scrutiny for several code violations, particularly regarding fire safety systems, with ongoing requirements to maintain proper fire escapes and correct various building deficiencies.
