Augrented Insights Report for 1525 East 26th Street

1525 East 26th Street is a 6-story, 88-unit residential building constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Solomon Obstfeld. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably regarding heating and hot water systems, with three separate complaints between December 2024 and January 2025, and an unsanitary condition related to garbage storage in June 2025 that resulted in violations being issued. There are multiple open violations from October 2024 related to Apartment 6H, including defective plaster surfaces, paint issues, and a reported mouse infestation, plus safety concerns regarding broken window guards.

The building's elevator system has been a consistent area of concern, with several complaints about multiple devices between 2019 and 2025, though recent inspections (most recently in March 2025) found no violations. Significant work appears to have been done in the basement area, with active ECB violations from August 2024 regarding unpermitted gas piping installation for commercial gas dryers and lack of sprinkler coverage, each carrying a penalty of $1,250. The building has a history of pest management issues, with reported bedbug infestations in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, though recent filings show zero infestations between 2023 and 2024.

Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with a failure noted in June 2023, though an August 2023 compliance inspection passed. Several housing code violations were issued in late 2024 regarding maintenance issues, including problems with walls, ceilings, and the need to remove accumulated refuse in public areas. The building management's response to violations shows some patterns of resolution, with many issues being certified as corrected, though notable exceptions remain, particularly concerning the open violations in Apartment 6H and the two active ECB violations regarding gas equipment.
