Augrented Insights Report for 1961 Madison Avenue

1961 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Yisroel Kanar. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests reported between 2020 and 2022, though recent inspections have shown consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, and the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 show no infestations.

The property has also faced door-related issues, with three separate complaints about doors and door frames between 2020 and 2022, though these have generally been resolved either through tenant verification or HPD inspections. Notable maintenance concerns include a period of heat and hot water problems in April 2020 that were reportedly resolved quickly, and various building maintenance violations including an open violation from May 2020 related to ceramic floor tiles in bathroom A2, and separate violations regarding plaster surface repairs in kitchen A2. The building's historical records show some structural and maintenance issues, including a vibration complaint from 2021 and multiple building inspection violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings between 2023-2024, though the property received passing grades in recent rodent inspections.

There have been several documented violations related to unauthorized modifications to the building in 2018, particularly concerning the conversion of first-floor space for nail salon purposes with unpermitted plumbing work. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, the most recent records indicate improved conditions, with regular rodent inspections showing passing results and no recent pest-related complaints. The building filed annual bedbug reports from 2020-2025 showing no current or previous infestations, and the most recent housing maintenance code violations appear to be primarily administrative in nature.
