Augrented Insights Report for 50 West 96th Street

50 West 96th Street is a 15-story, 61-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Mark Levine. The property has experienced persistent plumbing and water-related issues in recent months, with multiple service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints between April and June 2025, including three emergency plumbing-water supply complaints and two slow water leak incidents.

Notable violations were documented in 2023 for failure to maintain building exterior elements and improper permit posting during renovation work, with an active façade-related complaint from 2022 remaining on record. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with plumbing, surface damage, and water leaks, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations between 2020 and 2025. The building has undergone several renovations and improvements, as indicated by multiple work permits issued between 2018 and 2020, including exterior and interior work.

Rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2019 through 2025 generally passed, though there were instances of rat activity reported in 2018 and one related complaint in 2025, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene consistently finding no violations during inspections. The building's bedbug reporting for the past five years indicates minimal occurrences, with only two units reported infested in 2019, though subsequent reports from 2020 onwards show no new infestations. The property did experience a heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building in October 2020, which was reportedly resolved promptly.
