Augrented Insights Report for 198 President Street

198 President Street, a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rudolf Kats, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building in late 2023 and early 2024, though heat was reportedly restored. More recent issues include electrical problems (May 2025) and door/wind conditions (April 2025), both of which resulted in violations being issued by HPD.

The building has also shown persistent problems with door security, as evidenced by open violations from a September 2024 inspection regarding improper door repairs and broken locks at the first-story vestibule. Earlier maintenance history reveals various concerns including window and door issues, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas. Of particular note is a 2019 Environmental Control Board violation regarding multiple maintenance issues including door security, boiler conditions, and debris in the boiler room, though this has since been resolved.

The building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections between 2021 and 2025, with no reported infestations. While the property has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, there was one failure recorded in 2012. The Department of Buildings has documentation of various complaints and inspections from 2018-2024, including a 2019 boiler-related violation and more recent issues regarding water drainage that couldn't be inspected due to access issues.
