Augrented Insights Report for 151 East 31st Street

151 East 31st Street is a 29-story, 709-unit residential building located in Kips Bay, constructed in 1988 and currently owned by John McDermott. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage/recycling storage conditions, particularly throughout 2024, with multiple HPD complaints showing unsanitary conditions (though no violations were ultimately issued). More recent health concerns include a 2025 complaint about rodents/insects/garbage in a food establishment and a rodent activity finding in May 2025, although a subsequent inspection in July 2025 passed.

The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including multiple heat/hot water complaints between 2020-2022 (most recently in October 2020), an emergency plumbing issue in 2022, and electrical issues in 2024 involving burnt, defective cables in Apartment 14B and exposed wiring. The elevator system has required attention, with multiple complaints between 2022-2025, including violations in 2023 and 2024 for being out of service. The building's facade and public space areas have been subjects of various inspections and violations, including a 2018 violation for not maintaining requirements in the privately owned public space, though this has since been resolved.

The property has had periodic pest management challenges, with bedbug infestations reported in 2020 and 2022, though most recent reports indicate fewer units affected. The building underwent several permit issuances for electrical work between 2019-2021, with the most recent permits issued in October and November 2021. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both recurring issues and responsive inspections, with most complaints being resolved through inspections that found no violations, though several notable violations were issued between 2018-2024 related to various building systems. Recent inspections in 2025 related to rodent activity and food establishment conditions suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance systems.
