Augrented Insights Report for 51 East 131st Street

51 East 131st Street is a 6-story, 39-unit residential building constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Michael Padernacht. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with three floor-related complaints logged between 2023 and 2024, and more concerningly, two complaints regarding mold (one classified as emergency) in late 2024.

As of October 2024, there are three open violations including an uncorrected water leak and flooring issue in apartment 5E, as well as a missing inspection certificate frame in the first story public hall. The building has maintained an exemplary bedbug control record, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings between 2021 and 2024, and passed all recent rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, demonstrating effective pest management practices. The property has a documented history of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, having filed all necessary reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infestation cases.

Previous environmental control board violations related to exterior wall inspections were resolved, and though there were some department of buildings complaints in 2020-2021 about work without permits and elevator issues, inspections found no violations at those times. The building's maintenance history shows periodic issues that require attention, as evidenced by multiple floor complaints and the recent open violations, though these are generally addressed through standard inspection and violation processes. Regular rodent inspections demonstrate ongoing monitoring for pest control, with all recent inspections showing passing results.
