Augrented Insights Report for 219 East 196th Street

The 5-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement at 219 East 196th Street, built in 1923 and currently owned by Alex Alvarado, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, as of April 2025, there are ongoing concerns about water leaks with heavy flow, and issues with smoke detectors and a door in need of repair. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with several instances where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not gain access to apartments for inspection.

Additional concerns have included mold problems, window frame issues, and various safety concerns, including a carbon monoxide detector problem reported in January 2025. The building has also experienced significant infrastructure issues, with violations related to water leaks and bathroom maintenance in Apartment 1D documented in late 2024. The Department of Buildings has active violations from 2021 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements.

Notable rodent activity has been recorded throughout 2024, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat activity and the application of bait in response. However, the building has a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with zero reported cases. The property has a mix of open and closed violations and recent emergency complaints, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
