Augrented Insights Report for 308 West 48th Street

308 West 48th Street is a three-story, two-family residence built in 1920, currently owned by Hee Nam Bae. The building has experienced ongoing issues with heat and hot water availability, with at least six documented complaints between 2019 and 2025, including two recent emergency complaints in February 2025 that were either resolved or inaccessible for inspection.

The property has multiple open violations from a 2020 inspection of Apartment 2 concerning inadequate heat and hot water supply, electrical issues in bathrooms, and mold conditions in the third bathroom. Recent building maintenance violations from late 2023 involve defective self-closing doors at the main entrance, and a September 2023 violation cited garbage/recycling storage issues. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing, though there were reports of rat activity in summer 2021.

A bedbug inspection conducted in early 2024 reported no infestations during the preceding year. The property has faced scrutiny regarding potential illegal hotel room use, with three complaints filed between 2020 and 2022, though no violations were confirmed upon inspection. While the building maintains generally good rodent control practices, the recurring heating system issues and outstanding maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure and resident comfort.
