Augrented Insights Report for 55 John Street

The 17-story building at 55 John Street in New York City's Financial District, owned by David Gibbons and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced ongoing problems with building facade maintenance, including violations for spalling terra-cotta and brick damage near the roof level recorded in 2023-2024. The building's facade safety was particularly concerning in October 2023 when an unsafe façade notification was issued under LL11/98 regulations.

Earlier this year (2025), there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests. The property has also had multiple bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though recent reports indicate no infested units. Between 2023 and 2025, several construction-related safety issues were reported, including concerns about scaffolding, worker site conditions, and structural stability, with at least one stop work order issued in March 2025.

The building's facade maintenance has been a recurring theme, with multiple ECB violations for failure to maintain the exterior facade and appurtenances, though some of these have been resolved. The building's systems have generally passed rodent inspections consistently since 2011, with no violations recorded in recent years. While some violations have been dismissed or resolved, several active violations remain, particularly regarding facade maintenance and inspection compliance, as of the most recent data available in 2025.
