Augrented Insights Report for 137 Sullivan Street

137 Sullivan Street is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Issac Shaban. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns being rodent infestations and heating system failures. There have been multiple reports of rat sightings between 2023 and 2025, with inspections showing both rat activity and compliance passing results.

Heating and hot water system problems emerged as emergency complaints in late 2023, though these were subsequently resolved. Apartment 23 was the focus of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024, indicating numerous maintenance issues that required attention, including problems with floors, walls, cabinets, and various utilities. The building's history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding building safety and maintenance standards.

In 2019, several serious violations were recorded, including inadequate fire safety measures and a lack of proper egress systems for what was allegedly an unauthorized transient use in Apartment 22, resulting in fines totaling $7,610 that were marked as resolved. More recent complaints include a smoking violation in 2025 and unpermitted food establishment issues in 2024. While the building has undergone various inspections and received multiple permits for work between 2018 and 2021, the persistence of rodent problems and periodic heating system failures suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
