Augrented Insights Report for 334 West 49th Street

334 West 49th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Matthew Keller. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple water leak complaints recorded in 2025, including an open heavy flow water leak complaint from May 2025 and a significant heavy flow water leak from June 2025 that was ultimately closed by HPD.

The building has also faced various plumbing and electrical problems, including multiple sink and toilet issues in May 2025, lighting and wiring problems in March 2025, and general maintenance concerns regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system. The building has a concerning history of violations and complaints related to illegal hotel room use, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2019 and 2023, resulting in fines and penalties totaling $14,000 for violations regarding unauthorized transient occupancy at apartments 3FE and 5RE. Recent inspections revealed building-wide rodent activity throughout 2024-2025, with multiple bait applications recorded, indicating an ongoing pest control issue.

The property has also accumulated six active violations for failure to file required annual low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, along with other unresolved violations related to building safety systems. Despite these issues, the building's recent bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no documented infestations, and previous rodent complaints from 2025-2026 have declined, suggesting some pest management improvements. The building underwent significant violations regarding apartment safety systems, including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire safety requirements, particularly affecting apartment 5RW as of November 2024.
