Augrented Insights Report for 40 East 126th Street

40 East 126th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building in East Harlem, owned by Ned Forbes and constructed in 1909. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, particularly between 2018-2019 when multiple unauthorized construction and plumbing modifications were reported, including illegal gas piping installations and vent/exhaust work. While most of these violations were eventually resolved, one related to unauthorized gas piping work remains active with a $12,500 penalty as of May 2025.

The property has undergone regular health and safety inspections, consistently passing rodent inspections between 2018-2025, and has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past five years, with no reported infestations. Recent incidents primarily involve food establishment complaints, with two cases of food spoilage reported in 2020 and 2023, and more recent food temperature violations in early 2025, all of which were closed after investigation. The building experienced an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage in 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection.

Of particular note is the violation related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, which has been documented on multiple occasions between 2021-2024, though records indicate no actual infestations occurred during these periods. The most recent building inspection in 2024 revealed no outstanding health or safety violations, and regular rodent inspections conducted in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have all passed. The building's permit history shows an issuance in 2020 for electrical work, though the status of other potentially related modifications from 2018-2019 remains a point of interest due to prior unauthorized work claims.
