Augrented Insights Report for 820 East 168th Street

820 East 168th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Morrisania neighborhood, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Simeon Farber. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and June 2025, though most were resolved quickly, with some requiring multiple follow-up complaints. Significant maintenance concerns emerged from December 2024 inspections, including open violations regarding faulty self-closing doors in apartments 1C, 2C, and 4C, as well as a noted pest infestation in apartment 1C involving both mice and cockroaches.

The building has an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2018 and 2025, and bait application confirmed as recently as July 2025. Other notable issues include a building-wide vibration complaint in March 2025, violations regarding door maintenance, and various infrastructure concerns documented between 2024 and 2025. A department-issued violation remains active regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection (issued June 2023).

While historical bedbug complaints from 2019-2020 showed no infestation in any units, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance and pest management challenges. The property has an established pattern of heating system failures requiring tenant complaints and multiple regulatory interventions to restore basic services, indicating potential systemic infrastructure issues. ### Summary of Key Issues: - Persistent heat/hot water problems (2025) - Open violations for faulty doors in multiple apartments (Dec 2024) - Recent pest issues including mice and cockroaches in apartment 1C (Oct 2024) - Ongoing rodent control efforts required (2018-2025) - Vibration complaint (Mar 2025) - Active violation for failure to file 2019 external low pressure inspection (June 2023)
