Augrented Insights Report for 834 East 161st Street

834 East 161st Street is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building in Longwood, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Hope Burgess. The property has experienced persistent pest-related issues, with open complaints about pests as of May 2025, following multiple pest-related complaints throughout 2024-2025, including rodent sightings and infestations.

Notably, Unit 1C has numerous open housing maintenance code violations from an October 2024 inspection, including active mold issues, evidence of water leaks, and pest infestations (specifically mice and roaches), along with various maintenance problems involving walls, ceilings, and paint. Recent maintenance history reveals several attempts at pest control, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2024 and 2025, though these have not resolved the ongoing pest issues.

The building has also faced multiple access issues during inspections, where inspectors were unable to enter units to verify complaints, and several violations remain open as of October 2024. The property underwent some permit activity in 2019 and 2022, including work related to electrical and plumbing systems, though there was a notable violation from 2018 regarding the failure to file final inspections for completed work related to a gas-fired generator installation. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, the ongoing pest issues, particularly regarding mice and roaches, represent the most significant current concern for the building.
