Augrented Insights Report for 55 West 71st Street

The four-story, 12-unit building at 55 West 71st Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Robert Wise, has been experiencing significant maintenance challenges since at least 2023. Most notably, inspections in late 2023 and early 2024 revealed serious structural issues, including problems with roof joists and roofing membrane, loose parapet bricks, and extensive disrepair involving floor joists and flooring. Both the Department of Buildings and the Environmental Control Board have documented active violations related to these structural concerns, with penalties totaling $18,750 imposed as of August 2024.

In December 2023, there were also violations regarding exterior maintenance, including peeling and scaling of masonry on all levels. The building has been grappling with various maintenance issues over the past several years, including heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building in December 2022, which resulted in violations. While the building filed its annual bedbug report showing no infestations for the period 2022-2023, it has had ongoing pest control measures, including multiple rodent bait inspections throughout 2023-2024, with the most recent showing rat activity in October 2024.

Multiple building maintenance complaints were filed in 2024 regarding conditions throughout the property, including a building shaking complaint in July 2024 that resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. The property has also passed several rodent inspections, with bait applied consistently throughout 2023-2024, though initial inspections indicated rodent activity. The building's history includes consistent issues with maintaining proper documentation and compliance with various housing maintenance codes, with multiple violations citing the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023. Recent structural concerns appear to be the most pressing issue facing the building as of 2024, with multiple emergency work orders issued regarding compromised roof structures and general building disrepair.
