Augrented Insights Report for 51 East 126th Street

The 11-unit, 3-story building at 51 East 126th Street in East Harlem, owned by Jesus Perez, has exhibited numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably in 2024-2025. The property has ongoing violations related to external building maintenance, including a cracked facade and missing bricks (with a $12,500 penalty), and multiple active violations for failing to properly address previously cited conditions.

Recent complaints from March 2025 show recurring problems with water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), electrical issues (lighting), ceiling damage, and unsanitary conditions including mold, some of which resulted in violations being issued. An alarming pattern of rodent activity has been documented through inspections and bait applications between 2024-2025, indicating persistent pest control challenges. The building's history reveals significant maintenance concerns, including an open violation from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections and multiple past violations related to boiler and safety equipment maintenance.

In late 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment BR, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, kitchen appliances, and various repair needs. The property has also faced scrutiny for potential illegal conversions, with multiple complaints between 2019-2025, particularly regarding unauthorized hotel room conversions. While three recent HPD inspections in 2025 found no violations for certain complaints, these recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
