Augrented Insights Report for 159 Bleecker Street

159 Bleecker Street is a 7-story, 18-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1918 in Greenwich Village, currently owned by Mark Levine. The building has experienced several significant safety-related incidents in recent years, including fire escape safety concerns in 2024, multiple smoke detector issues in 2021 (with one failed inspection attempt), and carbon monoxide detector problems in 2021. The property has also faced infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2024, with complaints about electrical wiring (defective/exposed), construction work without proper permits, and elevator service issues.

Inspector access was denied on several occasions during 2024 inspections, raising concerns about compliance verification. The building's maintenance record shows both proactive and reactive responses to various issues. In recent years, there have been recurring violations related to the failure to file mandatory benchmarking reports of energy use, with active violations noted in 2023-2024.

The elevator has been a recurring concern, with violations and complaints about single device service and safety. Bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations, while rodent inspections have generally passed, with one instance of rat activity noted in 2022. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, including addressing exterior building conditions and elevator system improvements, though some violations have required penalties, such as a $2,000 fee for unpermitted electrical work in 2023.
