Augrented Insights Report for 235 West 56th Street

235 West 56th Street is a 43-story, 482-unit commercial altered Class A building located in Midtown, built in 1987 and currently owned by Keith Macchiaverna. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most notable concerns being heating/hot water outages across the entire building (April 2025), multiple food poisoning incidents, and indoor air quality problems including chemical vapors/odors (2023-2024).

The property has a history of pest-related issues, with several complaints about rodents/insects/garbage in 2023-2024, and although recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) show no active infestations, previous filings between 2018-2022 indicated sporadic occurrences. Recent building activity has included facade restoration work in 2023-2024, which resulted in several safety violations related to scaffolding and construction safety compliance, though these were ultimately resolved with penalties totaling $12,150. The elevator system required attention in 2024, and past violations related to sprinkler system installation from 2019 were finally resolved in 2021.

The building has maintained regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing compliance as of July 2025. While the property has generally resolved reported issues, the frequency of heating system problems, food safety concerns, and maintenance violations suggests periodic challenges with building systems and resident comfort. The building's management has consistently addressed violations and maintained necessary permits for ongoing maintenance and improvements, with the most recent permit issuance recorded in November 2023.
