Augrented Insights Report for 150 West 56th Street

The CitySpire condominium at 150 West 56th Street in Midtown is a 70-story, 337-unit Class A building constructed in 1987, currently owned by Sharon Langlais. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are multiple active Environmental Control Board violations related to exterior wall conditions and structural concerns, including bi-directional cracks in the parking structure walls and ceilings, excessive spalling, and missing masonry (violations issued between 2023-2024).

The building also failed to submit required facade inspection reports in 2023 and 2024, resulting in penalties totaling $3,750. Recent maintenance concerns include plumbing issues (water supply problems in February 2024, and sink issues in June 2024), heating system failures (January 2024), and multiple indoor air quality complaints related to chemical vapors and odors in mid-2023. The building's management has faced scrutiny regarding potential short-term rental activities, with complaints logged in 2025 and inspections in 2024.

While the property has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2019 and consistently passed rodent inspections (most recently in May 2023), the persistence of violations related to building safety and maintenance suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and regulatory compliance. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency violations, with particular emphasis on plumbing systems, heating, and air quality concerns. The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding various systems, including heat and hot water issues, water supply problems, and plumbing concerns. Additionally, there are several open violations regarding safety signage requirements in the first-story public hall, including smoke detector requirements and emergency procedure notices, dating from July 2018.
