Augrented Insights Report for 157 East 18th Street

157 East 18th Street is a 6-story, 53-unit residential building located in Gramercy and owned by Alan Silverman. The building, constructed in 1955, has experienced various maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in mid-2024, there were violations related to missing signage and plumbing issues in bathtubs/showers and sinks, though the building has since addressed several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to building safety notices, including those for smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices, as of September 2024.

The property has a documented history of plumbing problems, including water supply issues in 2021 and multiple cases in 2024. There have been recurring pest control matters, particularly in 2023-2024, with rodent and insect concerns being reported and addressed through various inspections and complaints. The building's maintenance record includes several health and safety inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing successfully.

Historical data from 2015-2018 shows periods of rat activity, though recent inspections indicate improved conditions. The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for work at the property between 2018-2020, though two "Work Without a Permit" complaints were filed in 2019 and 2023, with one resulting in an Oath violation. The building's bedbug monitoring reports from 2019-2024 consistently show zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, recent inspections and violation resolutions indicate ongoing efforts to address building code requirements and improve resident safety.
