Augrented Insights Report for 50 East 98th Street

50 East 98th Street is a 15-story, 1984-class A building in East Harlem currently owned by Jay Schofield. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing both passed and failed inspections for rat activity. The building underwent significant construction work in 2023-2024, leading to multiple Department of Buildings violations related to construction safety compliance, with active violations as of October 2024 for unsafe scaffold conditions resulting in penalties totaling $2,560.

Recent records show improved pest control, with the latest bedbug report (2024-2025) showing no infested units, though previous years had documented infestations. The building experienced a heat and hot water emergency in February 2021 that was resolved within a week. The property has faced various compliance issues, including three active DOB violations as of 2024 related to swamp conditions, unsafe reports, and multiple failed rat inspections.

Construction safety has been a persistent concern, with multiple stop work orders and violations for unsafe conditions throughout 2023-2024. While the building has generally met regulations for bedbug reporting and benchmarking, there have been periodic issues requiring attention. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 show some improvement, with the property passing inspections, though previous years had higher instances of rat activity. The building's management has shown responsiveness to many complaints, with several issues being promptly addressed or resolved through official channels.
