Augrented Insights Report for 171 7th Avenue

The six-story Class A building at 171 7th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Ellen Binder, was constructed in 1938 and contains 58 residential units. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in February 2025 and January 2025, as well as multiple incidents in December 2021, suggesting an ongoing maintenance challenge with building systems. The building has also faced pest-related concerns, including open violations for mouse infestation in apartment 2F (as of August 2022) and multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests in 2022.

During 2021-2022, there were several emergency complaints related to cooking gas as well. The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple inspection attempts regarding work without permits, though inspections in 2021 did not result in violations. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), with no reported infestations.

A November 2024 rodent inspection passed, but there was initial rat activity reported in October 2024. The property has several open violations related to building-wide notice requirements established by the Housing Maintenance Code, including missing postings regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and housing information guide availability. Additionally, two ECB violations from 2019 related to building facade maintenance resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work being conducted, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for various emergency and equipment-related work.
