Augrented Insights Report for 140 West 55th Street

140 West 55th Street is an 8-story, 34-unit residential building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Jane Goldman. The property has experienced multiple concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant and recent problems occurring in April 2025, including open violations for mold (classified as an emergency), problems with doors/windows (window frame), flooring/stairs (flooring), and several instances of paint/plaster issues (ceilings and door/frames).

The building has an active Environmental Control Board violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to submit required cycle 9B reports of critical examination for the exterior walls, representing a penalty of $1,250. Historically, the building has faced various challenges including multiple violations related to the exterior facade in 2021, and issues in 2018 regarding illegal transient use that raised concerns about safety systems and egress requirements, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water supply issues, pest control (notably cockroach infestations), and various structural concerns. Notable individual apartment issues were documented in 2024, particularly in apartment 8C, including problems with hardwood floors, heat riser plates, and multiple instances of required repairs to plaster surfaces. While there have been no bedbug reports filed in the past three years (2021-2024), and some rodent inspections show passing results in 2020-2022, the overall pattern of open violations and historical maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
