Augrented Insights Report for 157 West 57th Street

The building at 157 West 57th Street is a 74-story, 132-unit residential tower constructed in 2009 and currently owned by Tracy Chinery. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being three active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from December 2024 regarding inoperative firefighter's service Phase 1 systems, each carrying a $1,280 penalty. In 2023, there was a notable incident involving shattered glass windows on the 41st floor that impacted lower floors, though this violation was later dismissed.

The building has had multiple tenant safety inspections throughout 2023-2024, with several resulting in Oath Violations being served, particularly concerning building maintenance and safety systems. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units. Multiple permits have been issued between 2022-2023 for various maintenance and emergency work, including elevator inspections and electrical work.

Historical records show previous issues with garbage/processing storage and a power outage in 2019, though these were resolved without violations. The building's maintenance history reveals regular rodent inspections from 2010-2015, all passing, and various administrative violations related to safety posting requirements, though these have generally been resolved. Recent complaints regarding work without a permit and elevator issues in 2024 were investigated, with the work without a permit complaint finding no violations, and an Oath violation being served for the elevator complaint.
