Augrented Insights Report for 541 West 49th Street

541 West 49th Street is a 6-story, 66-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Lav Bauta. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, with the most pressing concerns including ongoing sanitary conditions related to pests (currently open since April 2025), multiple open repair requests from April 2025 concerning wall and window frame conditions, and recent electrical issues including no lighting complaints in May 2025.

The property has documented violations of housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding lead paint hazards, window guard requirements, and occupancy issues, with a significant cluster of violations identified in late 2023 regarding illegal occupancy and floor area compliance at Apartment #35, resulting in substantial penalties. Recent inspection history shows the building has passed rodent inspections in April 2025, but there was rat activity noted in April 2025 and October 2024.

Multiple emergency repairs and violations were documented in 2023-2024, including safety concerns such as inadequate emergency lighting, exposed wiring hazards, and structural issues with temporary lighting systems. The building's management has faced scrutiny for work without permits, with several complaints filed in 2023 and 2024, though no violations were ultimately found in one inspection. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in recent years, and has generally complied with rodent inspection requirements, though with some instances of rat activity noted in 2024-2025.
