Augrented Insights Report for 561 49th Street

561 49th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park, built in 1924 and currently owned by Mendy Lowy. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly affecting unit 8 on the fourth floor. Most concerning are current active violations from September 2024 documenting serious structural issues, including severe vertical cracks with approximately 2-inch separations in the kitchen walls, as well as problems with the exterior wall brickwork. These violations have resulted in a $1,250 penalty that remains due.

The building has a concerning pattern of recent maintenance issues, with multiple HPD complaints in May 2025 involving unsanitary conditions (pests) and water leaks, along with various painting and plastering issues. The building's plumbing system has also shown persistent problems, with multiple violations recorded in September 2024 involving bathtubs, showers, and sinks. Structural stability concerns were documented in September 2024, with complaints regarding building shaking and vibrating, and the property has been placed under structural monitoring. Historical inspections reveal a mixed rodent history, with the most recent inspection in 2022 showing rat activity, though earlier and later inspections passed.

The building has undergone several HPD inspections since 2024, resulting in multiple violations that indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting apartment 8. These violations include defective baseboard molding, broken subflooring, plumbing issues, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint in various units. The property's most recent building inspection in 2025 referenced conditions that required immediate attention and resulted in emergency and non-emergency classifications. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections, many active violations remain open as of September 2024, suggesting persistent building maintenance challenges that require ongoing attention.
