Augrented Insights Report for 179 3rd Avenue

179 3rd Avenue, a 6-story, 50-unit residential building in Gramercy owned by Lauri Weinstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years (2023-2025), with the most recent complaints in 2024-2025 focusing on appliance problems (notably with refrigerators) and heating issues. The building has undergone multiple inspections with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between 2023-2024, addressing various complaints including pest infestations, water leaks, and issues with paint/plaster.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in 2022 for apartment 5E, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing issues, and pest control requirements, though these violations have not yet shown as "Certified" in the records. The building's mechanical systems and emergency safety equipment have also required attention, with some open violations remaining as of 2022 regarding smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5E. Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have shown varying results, with both rat activity and successful bait application recorded.

Two complaints regarding illegal vent/exhaust systems were filed in 2019 and 2022, though no violations were warranted upon inspection. The Department of Buildings' Environmental Control Board notes a required exterior wall report from 2018 with a penalty of $625, which was eventually resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2018 to present shows minimal infestation issues, with only one case recorded in 2019-2020 that was subsequently eradicated.
