Augrented Insights Report for 535 West 51st Street

535 West 51st Street, an 8-story, 235-unit Class A building constructed in 1981 and owned by Ricardo Ocasio, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Between 2025 and 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests, with several 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints indicating ongoing rodent and mouse sightings.

The building has also faced challenges with basic infrastructure, including heating and hot water system failures in June 2025, and multiple maintenance issues that prevented HPD inspectors from gaining access to conduct necessary evaluations, resulting in several complaints being closed without resolution. The building's violation history reveals consistent concerns about safety systems and building maintenance. In 2024-2025, there were multiple violations related to self-closing doors, with fire safety concerns noted for doors in staircases A and B, as well as issues with window guards and plumbing systems.

Earlier violations from 2021-2022 documented various facade maintenance issues and elevator concerns, though many of these were resolved or dismissed. The building has maintained a regular inspection schedule for rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing "Passed" results for most inspections, though "Rat Activity" was noted in the latest July 2025 compliance inspection. The property has faced periodic bedbug infestations, with reports showing variable infestation levels between 2020 and 2024, though recent filings indicate successful eradication efforts.
