Augrented Insights Report for 349 West 42nd Street

The 349 West 42nd Street building, owned by Bernard Friedman, is a 268-unit, 41-story residential structure built in 2003 in Hell's Kitchen. The property has experienced recurring issues with its daycare facility, with multiple complaints filed between January 2023 and August 2024, all of which were investigated by the NYC Health Department.

In 2024, there were several housing maintenance complaints concerning flooring, plumbing, doors, and heat/hot water systems, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all annual reports showing zero infested units. Recent concerns primarily center around the building's sidewalk shed and scaffolding system, with multiple complaints filed between April and October 2023 regarding inadequate safety features, missing protective caps, and improper installation.

These resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations, with fines totaling $4,675. The building currently has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2024 (Cycle 9C Unsafe Report) and 2021 (Failure to Perform Category 5 Inspection), though the specifics of these violations are not detailed in the records. The property has passed all rodent inspections since 2010, most recently in October 2024, and the various elevator and maintenance permits issued between 2019 and 2023 suggest regular maintenance and compliance with required inspections, including a significant 2023 permit for elevator maintenance.
