Augrented Insights Report for 52 William Street

52 William Street is a 21-story Class B building in the Financial District, built in 1902 and currently owned by Sam Chang. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues between 2021 and 2025, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed across both the entire building and individual apartments. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a non-residential heat complaint that required NYC Health Department intervention.

The building has also faced several safety and maintenance challenges, notably during 2024 when multiple violations were documented including generator corrosion, improperly stored materials, and issues with fire safety systems. An emergency work order was issued in 2023 regarding failure to provide public safety measures, and there are ongoing concerns about elevator maintenance, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2025. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations related to building safety and maintenance standards.

In 2024, multiple ECB violations were issued regarding electrical and fire safety concerns, including missing GFCI protection and obstructed sprinkler heads. The building's management has generally addressed violations promptly, as evidenced by their "resolved" status, though there remains an active unsafe report filed in April 2023. Regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024 show consistent passing results, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing zero infested dwelling units. While the building has faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and elevator safety, it has maintained basic requirements for pest control and completed multiple necessary repairs as documented in violation resolutions.
