Augrented Insights Report for 551 West 125th Street

551 West 125th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1901 in Harlem, currently owned by Alex Banks. The building has maintained a relatively stable condition over recent years, with consistent rodent control compliance demonstrated through passing inspections from 2019 through 2025.

The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating no infestations during the reporting period. A significant safety concern emerged in September 2023, when window air conditioning units on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors were found to be improperly supported, resulting in a $500 violation that has since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows recurring administrative violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, though these violations appear to have been addressed in subsequent years.

While there have been several Department of Buildings inspections and complaints in 2024 related to semi-annual homeless shelter inspections (covering electrical, plumbing, and construction), none warranted violations at the time of inspection. The most recent permits issued include a construction permit in March 2023. The property's exterior lighting maintenance was addressed in 2019, when a violation was corrected within two months regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, though this was classified as a B violation rather than the more serious A classification.
