Augrented Insights Report for 23 East 81st Street

The 6-story, 7-unit residential building at 23 East 81st Street, owned by Yelena Novik, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with particular attention required on plumbing systems. Most recently, there is an open plumbing complaint regarding a toilet issue as of April 2025.

A series of inspections in early 2025 revealed various building problems, including issues with paint/plaster (violations issued), doors/windows, electrical lighting, and multiple plumbing concerns (basin/sink, radiator). The building's elevator systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2020-2022 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," and violations were noted in 2023 related to access issues and equipment maintenance. The property has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly following an inspection in October 2024, which identified issues with door self-closing mechanisms, wall conditions, and bathroom maintenance in Apartment 6.

Historical records show consistent attention needed for both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, including heat/hot water systems, flooring, and various plumbing elements. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years and generally passing rodent inspections, though one failure was noted in September 2021. Various permits have been issued for electrical and elevator work in recent years, suggesting ongoing maintenance and upgrade efforts, though some violations remain open as of the latest records.
