Augrented Insights Report for 38 St Nicholas Place

38 St Nicholas Place is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and owned by Tony Guillen, currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues as of mid-2025. The building has an active pattern of door-related problems, with eight open Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding doors/windows filed between June 3-10, 2025, and an outstanding bell/intercom issue from June 7, 2025.

A previous water leak issue from November 2024 was resolved in June 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent infrastructure challenges, including past heating and hot water system failures, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2023 in apartments 2A and 6A regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply. The Department of Buildings records show recurring boiler and elevator maintenance concerns, with multiple violations noted between 2018-2023, including an active violation regarding missing safety features and maintenance issues from 2023.

The building has undergone several Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 showing no enforcement action required, though previous inspections revealed various elevator and environmental control system deficiencies. The property has faced pest management challenges, with multiple rodent activity inspections recorded between 2022-2025, though recent inspections indicate some improvement, with a passing result in February 2025. While there were no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2018-2024), the building has demonstrated ongoing maintenance needs that require monitoring, particularly regarding door security, elevator operation, and heating/hot water systems.
