Augrented Insights Report for 118 East 31st Street

118 East 31st Street is an 8-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in Midtown, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ramiel Benyehuda. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding these systems, including three separate complaints in December 2024 alone, two in February 2025, and one in March 2025. A significant number of these heat-related complaints have been closed without proper inspections due to access issues.

In December 2024, there were also complaints related to cooking gas (currently open) and a door/window issue that was reportedly resolved. Building safety concerns were documented in May 2024, including violations related to fire safety (defective iron ladder, encumbrances in public hall, and fire escape obstruction), though these violations have since been closed. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, including three active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2023-2024.

Previous inspection records from 2023 revealed multiple heating and hot water violations, particularly affecting apartment 3R. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug report (2025) showing no infestations during the 2023-2024 period, and rodent inspections from 2010-2013 indicating generally good conditions, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in December 2012. Other historical complaints include issues with boiler operation, unauthorized work, and concerns about building shaking, though no violations were found upon inspection in these cases.
