Augrented Insights Report for 185 20th Street

185 20th Street is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1935, currently owned by Eleni Tagliavia. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with the most recent water supply complaint in January 2025 being particularly concerning as HPD was unable to complete their inspection. Throughout 2024, multiple complaints were filed and inspected regarding various maintenance issues, including mold (July), general conditions (walls, cabinets, flooring), and an indoor air quality concern involving sewage odor (May).

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with violations issued in late 2021 for inadequate heat and hot water supply to Apartment 2, though these were certified corrected by December 2021. In addition to the plumbing and heating issues, there have been significant concerns regarding building safety and maintenance. A 2024 Department of Buildings inspection revealed problems with the bulkhead area, including partially collapsed ceiling sheetrock, obstruction of roof door access, and inoperable doors, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

A locked/blocked egress violation was also recorded in July 2024. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with inspection access, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 (January) and 2025 (January) where HPD was unable to gain entry for inspection. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods, and passed its rodent inspection in August 2010. The property had some violation issues in 2023 and 2024, including a dismissed violation for failing to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection, but this was ultimately cleared.
