Augrented Insights Report for 155 West 81st Street

155 West 81st Street is a 6-story, 64-unit residential building constructed in 1951 and currently owned by Laura Boucai. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, particularly between November 2023 and January 2025, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though many of these inspections were either duplicates or inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, as indicated by multiple "Rat Activity" findings in inspections between 2022 and 2024, though a compliance inspection in December 2024 showed a passing result. The building's maintenance history reveals several safety concerns that have been addressed over time, including issues with self-closing fire doors and door-related violations in 2024, along with a mold investigation in January 2024 that resulted in no violations.

There were two significant complaints regarding illegal conversions and commercial use in recent years (2023-2025), with one being marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" in January 2024. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention reporting, showing no instances of infestation between 2020 and 2025. While there are some active environmental control board and Department of Buildings violations regarding elevator safety and energy efficiency score display requirements, both the bedbug monitoring and recent rodent inspection compliance suggest improved management practices.
