Augrented Insights Report for 36 East 56th Street

36 East 56th Street is a 17-story, 102-unit residential building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Lance Cohen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a water leak incident in July 2020 that affected Unit 16B and required multiple repairs to both the apartment and common areas. In 2020, there were also complaints about window frame conditions, though no violations were found during inspection.

The building faced a series of violations in 2020 regarding safety notices that needed to be posted in common areas, including those related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detection, and gas leak procedures, though records indicate these were subsequently addressed. More recent concerns include a 2023 façade inspection that resulted in an "Unsafe" classification under LL11/98, though specific details about required repairs are not provided in the records. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years.

Between 2022 and 2025, there were several construction-related issues, including two ECB violations for building safety matters in 2022, with penalties related to worker safety and improper storage on scaffolding. The most recent activity includes multiple compliance inspections in 2024, with one incident involving a worker injury requiring hospitalization. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work, particularly between 2018 and 2019, with numerous exterior and plumbing permits issued during this period.
