Augrented Insights Report for 149 Spring Street

149 Spring Street in SoHo is an 8-story, 7-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1898, currently owned by Jacob Brach. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, evidenced by heat/hot water complaints in 2024 (apartment only), 2021 (entire building), and multiple elevator service interruptions, most recently documented in 2024. Significant recent violations include multiple emergency situations in 2024 involving safety concerns such as an obstructed fire escape, cracked terra-cotta, and inadequate safety measures for the facade requiring a sidewalk shed.

Apartment 7 has exhibited particular maintenance challenges in 2024, with violations related to mold, pest infestation, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various other repair needs. The building's facade presents ongoing concerns, with active violations related to safety measures and maintenance requirements, including a 2024 ECB violation for failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, as well as pending issues regarding the 2023 external low pressure inspection. The building has demonstrated reasonable compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025.

While there have been bedbug reports filed, both the 2024-2025 and previous reporting periods (2019-2020) documented zero infested or re-infested units. Historical records show recurring issues with various building systems, including boilers and water heaters, though many violations have been resolved through inspections or compliance measures. The most pressing current concerns relate to the building's facade safety and maintenance requirements, as well as the recent heat/hot water service complaints, though inspections have generally found conditions to be non-violative or resulted in violations being addressed.
