Augrented Insights Report for 224 West 50th Street

224 West 50th Street is a 7-story, Class B building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Arie Challah. The property has experienced persistent heating issues in recent months, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between January and April 2025, including a January 2025 complaint verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that confirmed inadequate heat and/or hot water in at least one apartment. Other notable recent complaints include a window guard issue and pest problems reported in October 2023, though these were resolved without violations being issued.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases from 2019 through 2023. The property has a history of building code compliance issues, particularly regarding its exterior maintenance and occupancy documentation. Three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2024 remain, including failure to maintain exterior walls (2024) and issues with Certificate of Occupancy compliance (2018 and 2019).

There have been multiple violations regarding the filing of FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) reports, with the most recent active violation issued in 2024 for failing to file the Cycle 9C Technical Report. The building's owners have addressed various safety concerns, including removing devices preventing self-closing doors at entrance points, as required by violations certified in November 2023. While the building has passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014, more recent environmental control issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
