Augrented Insights Report for 54 East 116th Street

The 5-story, 9-unit tenement building at 54 East 116th Street in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Luis Vargas, has experienced a range of maintenance and safety issues over the past three years. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a water leak complaint, and in December 2024, residents reported problems with heat and hot water. The building has faced multiple plumbing issues, particularly with toilets, in early 2024, and there have been several environmental concerns including reports of mold and pest infestations in August 2024.

The second floor apartment (2B) currently has several open violations from August 2024 related to maintenance and safety, including issues with smoke detector placement, rat infestation, bathroom tiles, and door repairs. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water problems between 2023-2024, and while there was a safety inspection showing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors issues in July 2024, these were subsequently resolved by October 2024. Recent inspections show a pattern of rodent activity, with rat sightings recorded in February 2024 and October 2022, though the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed.

The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations between 2020 and 2025. As of September 2024, there is also an active Department of Buildings violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection. While many complaints have been properly investigated and closed, sometimes with issues confirmed but not resulting in violations, the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems (heat/water) and environmental conditions (pests/mold), suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
