Augrented Insights Report for 174 West Houston Street

The 25-unit, 6-story tenement building at 174 West Houston Street, owned by Tockwotten Assoc., Llc and built in 1898, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding sanitation and pest control. Most recently, in October 2023, HPD documented unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, leading to multiple Class B and C violations in May 2024 for obstructed self-closing doors and accumulated refuse in the east yard. The building has a notable history of rodent-related complaints, with multiple reports between 2018-2019 showing active rat sightings and pest issues, though recent inspections from 2021-2024 have consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting improved conditions.

Multiple violations regarding gas supply to kitchen fixtures were documented between 2018-2019 in apartments 1B, 6A, and 6C, though these were eventually resolved. The building's elevator system faced issues in 2020, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding door lock monitoring and phone systems, with a penalty imposed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight annual reports from 2018-2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

While there were several complaints and violations between 2018-2020, including emergency issues with cooking gas in 2018, most subsequent violations have been properly addressed and closed. Recent building inspections from 2021-2024 have generally shown improved maintenance standards, though occasional sanitation issues continue to arise, as evidenced by the most recent 311 complaint and associated violations. The property has undergone multiple rodent baiting treatments in late 2019, indicating prior significant pest issues, but the most recent rodent inspections have consistently shown no activity since 2021.
