Augrented Insights Report for 501 East 161st Street

501 East 161st Street is an 11-story, 77-unit residential building constructed in 2008, currently managed by owner Peter Fine. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple open complaints as of 2025, including issues with wall and ceiling plaster, intercom systems, and electrical problems. Notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in December 2024 and March 2025, although some were resolved quickly.

Housing Maintenance Code Violations from late 2024 indicate serious pest control issues, with active violations for rodent and insect infestations documented in apartments 2B and 9D. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat activity as recently as April 2024, though bait has been applied in response to the problem. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show several elevator-related complaints in 2019-2020, though inspections found no violations at the time.

Environmental Control Board Violations from 2020 indicate issues with construction notice requirements that were subsequently resolved. While the building's bedbug reporting from 2019-2024 shows mostly zero infestations or successful eradication, the property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over time. Recent complaints focus on electrical systems, interior finishes, and building-wide infrastructure, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and systems. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of 2025, indicating incomplete repairs or follow-up on resident complaints.
