Augrented Insights Report for 521 West 111th Street

The 6-story, 40-unit building at 521 West 111th Street in Morningside Heights, owned by David Greenberg, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2022 and January 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding poor ceiling conditions, mold, plumbing problems, and door frame issues, with violations issued specifically for mold and bathtub/shower problems.

The building has a concerning history of heating system failures, with consecutive heat and hot water outages reported in late 2018 and early 2019, though these were resolved promptly. More recently, in 2023, numerous violations were documented in Apartment 5 regarding ceiling paint requirements, heat riser maintenance, and mold conditions, with several violations still showing as open. The building's infrastructure has faced scrutiny, particularly regarding exterior conditions, with active ECB violations from 2021 noting problems with damaged masonry, cracked joints, and spalling brick on both south and north elevations.

There are also active violations regarding the failure to file required documentation related to the building's facade inspection (FISP) for Cycle 9C, and multiple violations from 2018 that remain unresolved regarding exterior maintenance. However, there is positive news regarding pest control, as the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections from 2022 through early 2025 have consistently passed. The most recent tenant safety inspections in 2022 showed either compliance or no violations, and the building has maintained regular permit filings for routine maintenance activities, suggesting some level of active property management despite the documented violations.
