Augrented Insights Report for 261 Central Park West

261 Central Park West is a 15-story, 85-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Jeffrey Schwartz. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being multiple active violations issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation.

Additionally, there is an active violation as of December 2023 regarding non-display of required energy efficiency score and grade information, and a violation from August 2022 related to benchmarking report submission that was ultimately dismissed upon confirmed submission. Recent maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and unresolved issues, including a 2024 refrigerator complaint that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues. The building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with all bedbug reports from 2020-2024 showing zero infested units, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2015-2024.

Historical violations include a 2019 exterior facade issue with broken masonry and damaged joints that resulted in a $1,250 penalty, though this was resolved. The building has maintained regular permit activity, with several plumbing and elevator work permits issued between 2019-2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to building systems. While the building has had various compliance issues, the management has generally addressed most historical violations and maintains a record of regular inspections and prompt permit filing for necessary work.
