Augrented Insights Report for 507 East 81st Street

507 East 81st Street is a 5-story, 60-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Henry Moses. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints spanning from April to May about building-wide deficiencies that were temporarily resolved but indicate ongoing system challenges.

Additionally, there have been plumbing problems, including a water supply complaint in April 2025. The building has documented rat activity through regular inspections in 2024-2025, with recent inspections in July and June 2025 confirming continued rodent presence.

An inspection from December 2024 revealed several maintenance issues, including problems with doors, windows, and a leaking roof, particularly affecting the 5th-floor public hall. Historically, the building has faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by ECB violations from 2020 regarding electrical work and apartment condition issues, and a 2024 complaint about water retention and drainage. While the building has maintained a zero incidence of bedbug infestations in recent years, the ongoing heating, plumbing, and pest control issues suggest persistent maintenance concerns as of July 2025.
