Augrented Insights Report for 56 West 126th Street

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 56 West 126th Street in Harlem, owned by Benny Breuer and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent issues with rodent activity over the past several years. The most recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 indicated continued rat activity, though the building passed its March 2025 rodent inspection.

There is an ongoing open violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, and multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to pressure inspection filings dating back to 2018-2023, totaling seven violations for this reason. The building also has active ECB violations from 2022 totaling $18,875, including issues with an unpermitted sidewalk shed and electrical wiring, plus a 2022 violation for exterior brick wall deterioration.

Several Department of Buildings complaints from 2019-2022 indicate various construction-related violations, including issues with scaffolding and unauthorized work, though most were resolved without finding violations at the time of inspection. The property has undergone multiple rodent control measures, including bait application and inspections, with the most recent being in March 2025.
