Augrented Insights Report for 525 9th Avenue

The 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building at 525 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by James Meskouris, has experienced recurring utility and maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023. Between March and July 2023, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, followed by three documented power outages in July 2023, with at least one violation issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) related to insufficient electric service in apartment 3B.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, with open violations as of 2023 including issues with self-closing doors in apartment 3B. The property's recent history shows attention to pest management, with all bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicating zero infested units, and successful passing of rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024.

Significant infrastructure work was attempted in 2023 with the installation of new gas piping for commercial dryers in the laundromat area, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations related to improper testing and inspection of the gas system. Historical records from 2020 show prior concerns with mold and ventilation issues, though these were resolved without violations. Despite these various maintenance and utility challenges, the building has generally maintained compliance with basic safety requirements, though the pattern of repeated utility outages suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that have required multiple interventions by city agencies.
