Augrented Insights Report for 308 West 49th Street

308 West 49th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Matthew Keller. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular attention needed to the bell/intercom system, which has generated multiple complaints in 2023 and 2024. Three separate water leak incidents were reported in 2023, resulting in violations, and there are recent citations from 2024 concerning the roof leak, fire retardant materials, and skylight screening in the 5th-story public hall.

Apartment 16 on the 5th floor has been the subject of various complaints, including issues with the gas range and ceiling repair needs. The building's history includes significant regulatory scrutiny between 2019-2021 regarding illegal hotel room usage, primarily focused on alleged transient use of Apartment 12 on the 4th floor, which led to multiple violations and penalties. More recent complaints in 2024 involved access issues for inspectors regarding work permits and various maintenance concerns.

Despite these challenges, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, showing no cases reported since ownership changes, and recent rodent inspections have consistently passed. The building's Department of Buildings history shows several violations related to failure to certify corrections, though many of these were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The property currently has one open violation from May 2024 regarding inadequate gas supply to the kitchen fixtures in Apartment 16.
