Augrented Insights Report for 127 East 169th Street

The 127 East 169th Street building, a 5-story New Law tenement constructed in 1923 and containing 34 units, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The property, currently owned by Yoel Shaffer, has had recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, including an emergency complaint in March 2025 affecting the entire building, following multiple heating issues in early 2025. The building has also faced significant plumbing problems, particularly with bathtubs/showers, and multiple door/window-related issues, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations recorded between February 2025 and December 2024.

Recent inspections have revealed several safety concerns, including an active ECB violation from August 2024 regarding a disrepair condition with a fire escape window and water-damaged bathroom ceiling in apartment #34A, as well as an open violation from December 2024 regarding a leaking roof over the 5th-story public hall. A December 2024 inspection also noted multiple violations in apartment 52B, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a refrigerator door gasket. The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure problems, including an August 2024 complaint about locked/blocked egress, and previous issues with electrical systems, building walls, and various safety equipment.

While there have been periodic rodent activity reports, recent inspections in early 2025 and late 2024 have shown compliance, though initial inspections revealed rat activity. The building has experienced bedbug infestations in previous years (2018-2019), but recent reports from 2022 to 2025 show no new infestations. The property has accumulated multiple violations requiring correction certification, including a 2019 ECB violation regarding maintenance compliance, though most historical violations from previous years have been resolved. Recent permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and repair work, with several permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various building systems, including plumbing and electrical work.
