Augrented Insights Report for 696 5th Avenue

The 22-story building at 696 5th Avenue, currently operated by Peninsula New York Hotel LLC, has maintained a comprehensive record of compliance with various regulatory requirements since its construction in 1905. Most recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with mobile food vendor inspections, with the latest complaint under investigation as of June 2025, though previous complaints in 2024 were closed after health department intervention. The building has demonstrated good pest control management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual bedbug report filings from 2021 to 2024.

Elevator safety has been a notable concern, with two complaints in 2023-2024, including an active Environmental Control Board violation related to an employee injury during unauthorized access to a device pit area, resulting in a $6,250 penalty. The property's regulatory history shows several instances of administrative violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements between 2022-2024, though many have been dismissed upon resolution. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2022 regarding bedbug reporting requirements have been addressed, as evidenced by subsequent filings showing no infested units.

The building's permit history from 2019 through 2025 shows regular maintenance and compliance, including multiple equipment-related permits. Historical rodent inspections from 2010-2012 passed without issues, suggesting effective pest management practices. Overall, while the building has experienced various regulatory challenges, most have been promptly addressed and resolved through appropriate channels and inspections, with particular attention paid to elevator safety and energy efficiency compliance in recent years.
