Augrented Insights Report for 16 Gay Street

16 Gay Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Manhattan's West Village, constructed in 1828 and currently owned by Avi Joshua. The building has experienced significant structural and maintenance issues over the past several years, with multiple active violations as of 2025. Most notably, there are serious foundation and structural concerns documented from 2022 through 2024, including compromised foundations, wall stability issues, and inadequate shoring conditions that raised safety concerns about potential collapse.

These violations indicate ongoing structural maintenance challenges that require attention. The building has also faced recurring pest control issues, particularly with rodent infestations. 311 service requests from 2019-2020 documented multiple rodent sightings, and while recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have passed, records show extensive baiting efforts in 2022.

Additionally, there were notable heating and hot water system access issues in 2019, though the complaints were closed due to inspection access problems. The property has had several Department of Buildings violations and environmental control board violations, including a 2024 violation related to non-compliant construction fencing and multiple active violations regarding failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner. While bedbug reports from 2017-2020 show no infestations, the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with pest control and building systems. Recent rodent inspections have shown improvement, passing inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, though this follows a period of significant pest management intervention.
