Augrented Insights Report for 245 West 51st Street

245 West 51st Street is a 10-story, 80-unit Class A residential building in Manhattan's Theater District, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Robert Gilardian. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April and May 2025, including three separate complaints on consecutive days in late May regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. This pattern of heating system failures has persisted despite inspections and attempted resolutions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building also currently faces several significant outstanding violations, including an active façade unsafe notification (as of March 2025) and failure to correct swarming conditions (as of May 2025), along with an unfiled FISP Cycle 9C technical report. Previous inspection history shows a pattern of elevator maintenance issues, including a 2024 violation for inoperative firefighters service phases and other elevator-related problems dating back to 2019. The building's maintenance history reveals various interior and exterior maintenance concerns, particularly affecting apartment 606 in 2024, where violations were recorded for defective plastered surfaces, paint conditions, and hot water temperature issues. Historical documentation shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019-2025, with no reported infestations.

While there have been rodent activity reports in recent years (2023-2024), inspections from 2010 to 2017 generally showed consistent passing rates. The property has had multiple sidewalk shed/scaffold-related complaints between 2021 and 2025, with varying outcomes regarding violations. The building's management has faced several penalties in recent years, including a $1,250 fine related to the firefighters service violation in 2024 and a $2,400 penalty for inadequate scaffold lighting. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspection compliance, though the recurring heat/hot water issues and current violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
