Augrented Insights Report for 168 21st Street

The 24-unit, 4-story tenement building at 168 21st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Andreas Steiner, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a building-wide water supply problem in March 2025 that resulted in multiple housing maintenance code complaints marked as "Immediate Emergency." These complaints, all processed in early March 2025, indicate ongoing plumbing infrastructure challenges. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with door hardware and safety systems, including three notable incidents in 2024-2025 involving defective door latches and self-closing mechanisms at the first-story entrance and public hall areas.

An active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 remains on record regarding the failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection. Previous years' inspections (2022-2024) have revealed various maintenance concerns that were subsequently resolved, including a water leak in the first-story public hall, issues with fire escape obstructions, and problems requiring repairs to fire-retardant materials.

The building's bedbug reporting history demonstrates consistent compliance with no reported infestations or eradication activities since the filing period of 2020-2021, with the most recent filings in 2023-2024 showing zero affected units. While some violations from 2022-2024 have been successfully closed, including issues related to painting requirements and door restrictions, the pattern of water supply complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing plumbing system challenges that may affect resident experience.
