Augrented Insights Report for 188 7th Avenue

188 7th Avenue is a 14-story, 130-unit residential building located in Chelsea, built in 1963 and currently owned by Ed Ermler. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being an open Class A violation from July 2022 regarding a water leak in the bathroom of apartment 3D.

The building has had multiple safety concerns documented in 2022, including violations related to non-functioning self-closing doors in the compactor closet and multiple entry points, as well as missing safety caps on electrical outlets in the public hall. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has responded to food establishment complaints in 2022 and 2023, though these were administratively closed with no ongoing issues. A concerning pattern of water-related problems emerged in 2022, with both a slow leak and mold complaint being documented and subsequently addressed.

The building has demonstrated proactive pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years, and recent rodent inspections from 2022 through mid-2025 consistently passing or showing active management through bait application in late 2019. While there were safety concerns documented in 2018 regarding pedestrian protection during nearby construction work, these were resolved without penalty. The property has maintained regular permit issuance for various maintenance and improvement work, with the most recent permits issued in late 2023 and 2022, though specific details about the work performed are not included in the provided data.
