Augrented Insights Report for 153 East 26th Street

153 East 26th Street is an 8-story, 14-unit residential building located in Kips Bay, built in 1905 and currently owned by John McCarthy. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with nine separate HPD complaints between November 2023 and November 2024, though inspections generally found these problems to be resolved or not in violation of housing laws.

More recently, in November 2024, violations were found related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, door self-closing mechanisms, and exceeding hot water temperature limits in apartment 7A, along with a February 2024 violation regarding an unauthorized HVAC installation in apartment 3B. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have been a concern, with several open violations as of late 2024, including defective carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 3A and 7A, and a hot water temperature issue in apartment 7A. Historical records show ongoing maintenance challenges, including a 2024 complaint about the building's boiler system, and previous elevator safety concerns in 2019 that resulted in fines.

The property has maintained good rodent inspection results, passing inspections from 2010 through 2025. Bedbug reports from 2018 to 2024 show no infestations, and the building has generally maintained compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, though some recent violations suggest needed attention to safety systems. The building's ownership has obtained various permits for maintenance and improvement work, particularly during 2018-2019, including elevator and plumbing-related permits.
