Augrented Insights Report for 552 Avenue Of The Amer

The 108-unit, 6-story residential building at 552 Avenue of the Americas in Chelsea, currently owned by Laurie Zucker, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between late 2023 and 2024. Most recently, violations were issued in December 2024 for missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 6L.

The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with inadequate sprinkler system complaints logged in both 2023 and 2025, and an Environmental Control Board violation from January 2023 citing failure to maintain the exterior facade, including loose balcony slabs and exposed rebar. The building's maintenance history shows some environmental concerns, including a 2022 pest complaint and earlier rodent issues in 2019, though subsequent inspections have generally passed.

Documented violations from 2018-2019 required posting of various safety notices, including smoke detector requirements and building registration information. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record through its reporting periods from 2019 to present, and passed rodent inspections from 2010-2019, recent concerns about safety equipment and building systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also faced administrative issues, such as failing to file required bedbug reports in 2023-2024, though these violations were later marked as certified.
