Augrented Insights Report for 51 West 86th Street

51 West 86th Street is a 15-story, 74-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Abraham Reiss. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and 2025 indicating problems with the building-wide heating system. Recent concerns include a mold problem reported in May 2025, which resulted in HPD violations, and rodent activity inspections showing mixed results in 2024, though the most recent inspection as of October 2024 passed.

The building has faced several facade maintenance issues, including active violations regarding building wall conditions noted in February 2024 for loose mortar joints and cracks around 16th-floor windows. The property has undergone significant facade work that began in 2018, with multiple inspections revealing various safety and compliance issues. Notable violations include a $6,250 penalty from May 2024 for work without a permit and an active violation for failure to file acceptable inspection reports.

The building experienced several construction-related violations in 2022 regarding inadequate tenant protection and scaffolding issues, with penalties totaling approximately $12,000, though many earlier violations related to facade work and inspection failures from 2018-2020 have since been dismissed. While the building has had periodic pest control challenges, including multiple rodent complaints in 2023-2024, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years. The elevator maintenance history shows a violation from 2021 that appears to have been resolved by 2022.
