Augrented Insights Report for 188 South 3rd Street

188 South 3rd Street is a 6-story, 41-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Mordechai Katz. The building has experienced a persistent pattern of maintenance issues over recent years, with 2023-2025 housing maintenance code complaints revealing recurring problems with heat/hot water (including building-wide outages), door conditions, and various maintenance issues across multiple units.

Notable violations include an open Class C violation as of September 2023 for roach infestation in Apartment 6, and multiple self-closing door issues in common areas. The building has faced significant safety concerns in the past, including illegal conversions and occupancy violations in 2018 regarding cellar space, unauthorized construction work, and electrical issues, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations. Recent inspections and service requests have continued to uncover maintenance challenges, though the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no current infestations.

The property has a documented history of rat activity over multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. Despite numerous complaints, many of which resulted in inspections, the Housing Preservation and Development department has frequently been unable to gain access to inspect reported issues, resulting in several cases being closed without resolution verification. The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of delayed or incomplete resolution of reported issues, with some violations remaining open or being closed without proper correction verification.
