Augrented Insights Report for 254 West 15th Street

254 West 15th Street is a 5-story, 24-unit old law tenement building built in 1928, currently owned by Rafit Berisha. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints in both February 2025 and December 2024, along with a cooking gas complaint in October 2023. During 2022-2023, several maintenance and safety issues were documented, including multiple violations related to the condition of the ceiling, door, flooring, and paint/plaster in various areas.

A significant concentration of problems was recorded in Apartment D during July 2022, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing, and mold conditions. The building's exterior and structural integrity has been a persistent concern, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations noting masonry issues on the north elevation, including spalling brickwork and corroded metal lintels. Recent ECB violations from September 2024 regarding the sidewalk shed requirements remain active, with substantial penalties imposed.

A bedbug infestation was reported affecting four units in the 2023-2024 period, though all were subsequently eradicated. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, with the most recent in October 2024, there was a pattern of bait application in 2020. The property has active DOB violations related to emergency hazardous conditions from June 2023, specifically regarding cracked masonry bricks at the parapet.
