Augrented Insights Report for 18 King Street

18 King Street is a 6-story, 21-unit residential tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1904 and currently owned by Katherine Chou. The building has experienced ongoing heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems reported in both February 2025 and November 2024, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. In May 2024, several maintenance violations were documented, including issues with flooring, walls, lighting, window frames, and stairways. The building also has a history of rodent problems, with inspections showing rat activity in early 2025 and multiple instances of bait application throughout 2023.

Recent building history reveals concerning patterns of maintenance issues, particularly during 2024-2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding basic services and building systems. The building underwent several Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspections in 2024-2025, which revealed some active violations related to unauthorized construction and electrical work. Historical records show previous concerns about building maintenance, including a 2020 boiler violation and various safety compliance issues. However, the building has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs over the past four reporting periods.

While certain maintenance issues have been addressed and closed, such as violations related to Apartment 5's light fixture, smoke detector, hardwood floor, and plaster surfaces, new problems continue to emerge, particularly in the area of heating systems. The building's records indicate recurring issues with unauthorized work, as evidenced by multiple complaints about work without permits in late 2023 and throughout 2024. Inspection attempts for these complaints were documented as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" in December 2023. These historical patterns of maintenance issues, combined with recent heating system problems and active violations related to unauthorized construction work, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and code compliance.
