Augrented Insights Report for 144 West 16th Street

144 West 16th Street is a 10-unit, 4-story residential building in Chelsea, built in 1901 and currently owned by Vassili Troubitch. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2021 and 2022, including both heavy and slow leaks in various units, though all of these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations issued. More recent concerns include open violations as of 2023-2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in apartments 1 and 4, and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1, with similar door issues noted in apartment 4.

The building has also faced some structural and safety concerns, including a 2022 ECB violation regarding a tilting unit installed at the 3rd-floor level and open violations related to a sloping wood floor in apartment 4 from July 2023. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with all annual reports from 2018-2024 showing zero infested units. Regular rodent inspections from 2010-2024 have all passed.

While there were multiple emergency complaints in 2022-2023, including issues with paint/plaster and water leaks, these were all ultimately closed. The property has active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, which remains unresolved as of 2024. Two complaints regarding potential illegal conversions were recorded in 2022 (resolved) and 2024 (unable to access), though the building's history shows no subsequent violations for this issue.
