Augrented Insights Report for 224 East 165th Street

224 East 165th Street is a five-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building in the Concourse Village neighborhood, owned by Eric Samson and constructed in 1914. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding basic services and pest control. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints (both building-wide and apartment-specific) in late 2023 and 2024, with violations issued.

A March 2025 electric lighting complaint was closed when the HPD inspector could not gain access to the unit. The building also faced significant challenges with pests, including documented infestations in multiple units (notably in apartments 2C and 4A) in 2024, though recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown improvement, with the latest inspection passing. The property has active violations related to the failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection records for 2019 through 2023, and was cited in 2022 for illegal conversion of the cellar space into an unauthorized apartment.

Several other units have had maintenance issues requiring attention, including window repairs (apartments 4A and 5B), mold remediation (apartment 4A), and various repairs to floors, ceilings, and bathrooms. The building's bedbug reporting history shows very few infestations since 2020, with no reported cases in the past three years. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and shows compliance with most recent building codes, the recurring nature of heating, plumbing, and pest control issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
