Augrented Insights Report for 501 West 51st Street

The 501 West 51st Street building, a 7-story New Law Tenement built in 1900, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed and varying inspection outcomes. The building has also faced significant elevator problems over the years, with the most recent active complaint from May 2025 regarding a single device with no alternate service. Apartment 4D has multiple open violations from 2024, including concerns about self-closing doors, missing smoke detector, and missing carbon monoxide detector.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent infrastructure challenges, including door/window issues, unsanitary conditions (including garbage/recycling storage problems and sewage concerns), and plumbing problems. Recent inspections indicate some progress in pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last three years, though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2021. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, with some violations being resolved, particularly those related to building structure and public spaces.

The elevator and heating systems remain areas of ongoing concern, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations. The building has passed recent rodent inspections as of October 2024, showing improvement in pest control measures. While some violations have been addressed, others remain active, particularly those related to elevator safety systems and apartment-specific maintenance issues.
