Augrented Insights Report for 50 West 131St Street

The 8-story building at 50 West 131st Street, owned by Abby Towers Apartment LP, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of pest problems, with multiple violations and complaints related to bedbugs, mice, and cockroaches affecting apartments 1S, 5K, and 8B between 2023 and 2024.

The building has also faced challenges with basic building systems, including multiple emergency plumbing issues in 2024 involving toilet complaints, and an indoor air quality concern regarding ventilation in December 2024. Several housing maintenance code violations remain active as of 2025, including a Class C violation concerning defective self-closing doors in apartment 5L identified in September 2024. The property has a documented history of elevator-related issues, with multiple violations and complaints between 2019 and 2025, including recent violations regarding unsafe conditions and the failure to provide proper maintenance documentation.

The building is currently facing active environmental control board violations related to its exterior wall conditions, with penalties imposed in 2024. Despite these ongoing issues, recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no active infestations, though there was significant treatment activity in 2023-2024 with reports of 12 infested units and 100 units treated. Additionally, the building's rodent inspection from January 2024 passed, though a November 2023 inspection failed for "Other Reasons." The property has also had issues with door security and self-closing mechanisms, with violations issued in 2023 regarding kickstand doorstops preventing proper door function.
