Augrented Insights Report for 156 Bowery

156 Bowery, a four-story building in Nolita owned by Joel Horowitz, has demonstrated ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and safety systems over recent years.

Most notably, the building has accumulated a series of open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with active violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 indicating non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug report filings required by HPD. The building also has a concerning history of safety system deficiencies, particularly evident in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 1 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detection devices, along with inadequate postings of required safety information in common areas.

While there have been periods of successful rodent inspections, with passed results in 2025 and 2024, the building has experienced intermittent rat activity as recently as 2023, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. A closed complaint investigation in December 2024 found no violation warranted, but given the pattern of previous violations, the building's maintenance history raises concerns about consistent compliance with housing safety requirements.
