Augrented Insights Report for 230 East 196th Street

230 East 196th Street is a 4-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building located in Fordham, built in 1911 and currently owned by Steven Kashanian. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past two years, with notable issues including multiple heat/hot water problems (most recently in April 2025), water supply and heavy flow water leak issues in 2024, and recurring unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests (particularly in basement apartment B1).

The property has also generated several emergency housing maintenance code complaints between 2024 and 2025, with violations issued for various problems including flooring, plaster and paint issues, and plumbing concerns. The building's history reveals significant concerns regarding unauthorized occupancy and illegal activities, with a 2023 violation for occupancy contrary to Department of Buildings records, describing the cellar level apartment as converted/occupied by a house of prostitution with multiple rooms.

There are also active ECB violations from 2019 regarding a hazardous boiler condition with a substantial penalty. While the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs since 2019, rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections and bait applications between 2021 and 2024 showing varying levels of rat activity, though a rodent inspection in April 2024 was passed. The building's management has faced challenges with compliance and timely resolution of violations, as evidenced by multiple open violations from 2024 and historical issues with failing to file required technical reports per RCNY regulations.
