Augrented Insights Report for 545 Avenue Of The Amer

The four-story former Class A building at 545 Avenue of the Americas in Chelsea, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Denay Riley, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, a series of violations were issued in September 2023 concerning apartment 3F, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a leaking roof, and various door issues.

The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2020 and 2021, though these were eventually resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest infestations, with zero bedbug or rodent issues reported in recent inspections through 2024, and passed all rodent inspections since 2010. The building underwent renovations in 2019, which generated multiple complaints about construction safety protocols, though these were resolved.

Recent health and safety concerns include a 2024 DOHMH inspection related to a food establishment toilet facility, and HPD inspections in September 2023 addressing various maintenance issues. While many historical complaints have been resolved, current open violations from 2023 requiring attention include safety concerns such as non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as a leaky roof affecting unit 3F. The building has consistently filed "No Infestation" reports for bedbugs across multiple inspection periods from 2019 to 2025, indicating effective pest management during this time.
