Augrented Insights Report for 555 Avenue Of The Amer

The 6-story, 163-unit residential building at 555 Avenue of the Americas in Chelsea, owned by Richard Cohen and built in 1974, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating system problems, with emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water recorded in 2025, 2024, and several instances in 2022. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, including documented rodent activity in 2024 and 2023, and multiple complaints about pests in 2023-2024 that were investigated by HPD. A concerning carbon monoxide detector complaint was filed in March 2024, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has investigated multiple indoor air quality issues related to chemical vapors/gases/odors in September 2023, leading to advisories to the property management. The building's maintenance history shows various infrastructure concerns, including a near-miss fire safety violation related to defective self-closing doors in the south staircase (D) at public hall, 4th story, recorded in 2024. Earlier violations were also documented regarding inadequate heat supply, including a 2018 citation for insufficient heat in apartment 513. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024, regular bait application was required earlier in the year.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting regulations, showing no active infestations in the most recent reports from 2023-2024. Compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 have been conducted regularly, with the latest complaint from August 2024 currently listed as active. While the building has received several violation notices over the years, many were resolved promptly, including elevator-related violations in 2019 and various pest-related issues. The owner has obtained multiple permits for exterior work and maintenance activities from 2019-2020, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building systems and infrastructure.
