Augrented Insights Report for 157 3rd Avenue

The 20-story building at 157 3rd Avenue in Gramercy, owned by Jeffrey Bronski and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around heat and hot water services. Most recently, in June 2025, there were building-wide heat and hot water complaints, which followed a similar pattern from March 2019 when tenants reported similar issues before restoration of services. The building has also undergone substantial construction work in recent years, with multiple construction safety compliance actions recorded between 2024-2025, and several violations related to sidewalk shed and scaffolding installation and maintenance.

These construction activities, which included facade work according to LL11/98 requirements, have resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations, particularly in 2024, though most have been resolved. The property has maintained an active record of addressing critical building systems, including regular inspections for rodent presence, with all inspections (from 2010 to 2025) showing passed results and no recorded rodent infestations. The building's plumbing systems have been subject to multiple complaints and inspections, notably in 2024 when several plumbing-related service requests were filed.

Tenants have reported various issues over the years, including food safety concerns in 2024, though these were determined to be isolated incidents. Remarkably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past eight years of monitoring. Recent DOB violations from 2023-2024 suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements, including a 2023 active violation related to swarming conditions and a 2022 violation regarding energy benchmarking report submissions.
