Augrented Insights Report for 246 West 48th Street

246 West 48th Street is a 4-story, 15-unit residential building located in New York City's Theater District, built in 1910 and currently owned by Eddie Shieh. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably regarding pest control and regulatory compliance.

There are four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which are classified as Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations. The building has also had multiple 311 complaints related to food establishment issues and rodent/insect/garbage problems, with the most recent complaints filed in 2024. Recent inspections and complaints have raised concerns about building access compliance, with multiple inspectors unable to gain access to perform required inspections.

The building underwent structural monitoring in 2024, with one complaint indicating the need for approximately 20 feet of new sidewalk shed installation, which has been completed and verified by HPD and DOB. Between 2019 and 2020, several violations were issued for construction activities, including work performed without proper permits and safety concerns, particularly regarding fire stopping. The building has maintained some compliance with rodent control measures, passing recent inspections in 2024, though an initial inspection in May 2024 resulted in a failure for "other reasons." Various permits have been issued between 2019 and 2022 for different types of work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement activities at the property.
