Augrented Insights Report for 181 Prince Street

The 6-story, 22-unit tenement building at 181 Prince Street in SoHo, owned by Eli Levy and constructed in 1908, has experienced significant and ongoing heating system issues as of October 2024. Throughout October 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water across the entire building, with at least nine separate service requests leading to violations being issued. Recent inspections in November 2024 identified several violations in Apartment 5, including problems with roach infestations, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and hot water availability, while Apartments 14, 19, and 22 also reported hot water issues during October.

The building's history reveals various concerns, including electrical wiring violations (2024), egress issues (2023), and illegal hotel room complaints (2019-2022). Several environmental control board violations remain active, particularly regarding electrical wiring and boiler issues from 2019, and a recent violation from August 2024 concerning unsecured electrical components in the basement. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2023-2025), there were documented rat activity issues in late 2019. The property has experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by numerous HPD complaints and violations over the past several years, though some previous violations have been resolved or dismissed.

The building underwent multiple permit-related inspections in 2019, with some violations regarding work done without proper permits, particularly related to electrical work and boiler systems. A bedbug report for 2023-2024 showed no infestations, and the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since 2022, though there were enforcement actions taken for various building maintenance issues. In summary, 181 Prince Street is currently facing significant challenges with its heating system as of October 2024, with multiple open violations and complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting multiple apartments. The building has a documented history of maintenance-related issues over the past several years, with specific concerns about building systems, illegal uses, and violations for failure to maintain proper safety systems.
