Augrented Insights Report for 53 Spring Street

The 4-story, 5-unit residential building at 53 Spring Street in Nolita, owned by Nicholas Gravante, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are active structural concerns as evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board violations from 2022-2023 related to failure to address structurally deficient conditions, including an emergency violation in 2022 regarding sidewalk vault conditions.

The building has documented challenges with rodent activity, with multiple bait applications and rat activity confirmed between 2025 and 2022, though inspections in 2024 and 2023 reported "Passed" results. A fire escape safety violation was recorded in August 2023, and the building has several housing maintenance code violations, including improper storage blocking scuttle access on the 5th story hallway.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, showing no current infestation despite a prior complete infestation of all units in 2019-2020. Recent food establishment inspections in 2025 and 2023 noted issues with pests and lighting, though these were addressed. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with compliance, particularly regarding timely inspection filings and response to violations, as evidenced by multiple active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2020-2022, with penalties totaling $37,500.
