Augrented Insights Report for 444 51st Street

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 444 51st Street in Sunset Park, owned by John Mclellan and built in 1905, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing struggle with pest control, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations related to roaches and mice infestations, including a 2024 violation for mouse infestation in Apartment 4. The building has also faced significant sanitation challenges, with recent violations in September 2024 regarding improper garbage/recycling storage, for which violations were issued under § 27-2021 of the Administrative Code.

The property has experienced temporary heat and hot water outages, with emergency complaints registered in early 2023 and late 2024, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly through HPD intervention. Building maintenance concerns have included problems with building security (defective entrance door latches noted in 2024), various housing code violations related to interior conditions in Apartment 6 (including issues with windows, bathroom tiles, plaster, and heating), and a concerning gas safety violation from 2022 regarding gas meter placement in bathroom areas. The Department of Buildings has issued two currently active violations in 2023 for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections, and there is an active ECB violation from 2022 regarding non-compliant gas meter locations with a penalty of $6,250.

Recent inspections in 2024 confirmed ongoing issues with rodent activity, as shown in October and November 2024 inspections. However, it's worth noting that the building's recent bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2024) showed no evidence of infestation, suggesting this particular issue has been effectively managed. The building's maintenance history indicates persistent challenges with both basic utilities and pest control, with recent improvements in response times to complaints noted. The property has a documented history of compliance inspections, with varying results regarding various housing maintenance code sections, and while many issues are eventually resolved, the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
