Augrented Insights Report for 154 7th Avenue

154 7th Avenue is a four-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by John Usdan. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, most notably a building-wide heat and hot water outage in November 2022, which was resolved within 24 hours. The Department of Buildings has documented multiple violations between 2018-2019 regarding improper use of the building for transient purposes, including lack of required safety systems such as sprinklers and alarms, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

More recent inspections from 2023-2024 have focused on bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report from July 2024 showing no infestations during the previous reporting period. The building has undergone several inspections and repairs related to its maintenance and safety systems. As of April 2024, there is an open violation regarding garbage bins in the first-story public hall, and previous years' inspections revealed various required repairs including issues with the fire escape, public hall ceiling, balcony conditions, and interior maintenance.

Despite these challenges, the building has consistently passed recent rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management. The property underwent multiple permitted construction/maintenance work in 2019, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance activity. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat systems and interior conditions, recent inspections have shown improved compliance with basic safety and maintenance requirements, with no recent complaints about bedbug infestations or significant water leaks.
