Augrented Insights Report for 15 West 81st Street

15 West 81st Street is a 16-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Beth Greenwald. The building has undergone regular inspections and maintenance processes over the years, with the most notable recent activities occurring between late 2024 and early 2025, including multiple tenant safety inspections in January, February, and March 2025, all of which showed no violations at the time of inspection. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021, with zero infested units reported in the most recent filings for 2023-2024, following some isolated cases in prior years (2019-2020).

Recent maintenance issues have included an open standing water complaint from August 2020 (currently open as of October 2023) and paint/plaster issues in 2024 that were investigated by the HPD with no violations found. The building experienced construction-related violations in 2022 involving safety plan non-compliance and scaffold issues, which were resolved with penalties totaling $3,810. Compliance inspections related to Local Law 188/17 were conducted in 2022, showing no violations.

The property has faced ongoing rodent management challenges, with inspections in late 2024 indicating rat activity, though previous inspections from 2017-2022 had passed. The building's maintenance history shows regular permit activity for various work types, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for different types of work including plumbing and electrical. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent inspection patterns suggest improved compliance with tenant safety requirements, though some ongoing concerns regarding standing water and rodent activity remain.
