Augrented Insights Report for 51 Avenue A

51 Avenue A is a 12-story, 103-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by 172 East 4th Street Tenants Corp. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most concerning being recurring electrical problems. In May 2024, multiple electrical wiring complaints were documented, with at least one resulting in Housing Maintenance Code violations.

There were also some non-emergency electrical issues related to outlets and switches during the same period. The building has shown persistent water-related maintenance challenges, including heavy and slow water leaks documented in October 2023, with some violations issued. Recent inspections in July 2024 revealed issues with self-closing doors in the first-floor public hall, while Apartment 10I has multiple open violations from June 2024 concerning a bathtub requiring reglazing, defective escutcheon plate, and unsafe electrical wiring conditions involving extension cords. The property has undergone several safety inspections and has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025.

There were also inspections for tenant safety in 2022 and 2024, with at least one inspection in 2024 resulting in the issuance of violations. While the building has had some environmental control board violations related to electrical work in mid-2024, including the use of flexible wires as a permanent power source, it appears that most historical violations have been resolved. Bedbug inspections have consistently reported zero infestations from 2019 through 2024. The Department of Buildings' records show multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2021 for various repairs and improvements, including electrical work and plumbing systems.
