Augrented Insights Report for 172 5th Avenue

Situated in Manhattan's Flatiron District, 172 5th Avenue is a six-story, 25-unit building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Jonathan Scutari. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with several open complaints being particularly concerning for residents. As of May 2025, there are active complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pest infestations that remain unresolved.

The building has also faced multiple heating and hot water issues, with complaints in 2023 and 2025 indicating these systems have been problematic, though some have been restored according to tenant reports. Notable safety concerns emerged in 2023-2024, including violations for improper maintenance of fire retardant materials in various public areas, particularly in stairwell landings on the 4th and 5th stories, as well as issues with the building's fire safety systems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, with three cooking gas-related complaints in early 2024, and multiple appliance-related issues.

While recent bedbug and rodent inspections have shown no infestations, there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations that required attention, including a significant number of citations in 2023-2024 regarding improper repairs and maintenance of common areas. The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections under Local Law 188/17 requirements, though most have resulted in no violations being found. Historical records from 2018 show multiple violations regarding unauthorized gas and electrical work, though these have been resolved, including one incident that resulted in an $8,000 penalty. The building's most recent inspections have focused on ensuring compliance with safety codes, with some concerns about public area maintenance and sanitation still requiring attention as of mid-2025.
