Augrented Insights Report for 255 West 85th Street

The Claremont Condominiums at 255 West 85th Street is a 21-story, 42-unit building constructed in 1988 and currently owned by Melissa Elstein. The building has faced several significant construction-related issues over the past few years, with multiple Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) actions between 2021-2024, including three stop-work orders that were ultimately rescinded.

In 2022, two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued regarding non-compliance with approved construction documents and site safety plans, though these violations were resolved with no penalties imposed. More concerning are two active ECB violations from 2021 regarding building exterior conditions, specifically mentioning issues with balcony spalling and surface damage, as well as failure to maintain facade integrity, with associated penalties totaling $3,750. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past seven years.

Regular rodent inspections have been consistently passed from 2014 through 2024, indicating good pest control management. However, there are three active Department of Buildings violations (as of 2023) related to the failure to file annual external low pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, and one violation regarding certification of correction for an immediately hazardous ECB violation from 2021. The building also experienced one construction-related complaint in 2024 regarding site conditions, which was investigated and found to have no violations warranting action.
