Augrented Insights Report for 353 West 51st Street

353 West 51st Street is a 5-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 353 West 51st Realty LLC. Over the past year, the building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues. Most notably in July 2024, multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding fire safety, including failure to maintain emergency exit lights, improper construction work, and inadequate building maintenance. A critical fire guard requirement was established, though as of now it appears to remain in "Open" status.

Earlier in 2024, the building faced multiple door/window violations, including issues with fire escape access and various door-related problems, though most of these were subsequently corrected. Recent complaints from 2025 include a heat/hot water issue and a window frame problem, both of which were investigated by HPD, revealing violations that required correction. The building has maintained a relatively consistent record regarding pest control, with annual bedbug reporting showing zero infestation cases since 2019, though recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 did pass. There were notable complaints regarding safety and fire escape issues in Spring 2024, with some violations being issued, and a 2023 window repair requirement for Apartment 1A was noted.

Most concerning are the current active ECB violations from July 2024, which carry penalties related to fire safety and means of egress requirements. These include failures to maintain emergency lighting, provide proper fire egress, and maintain building safety features. While past violations have generally been addressed, the recent pattern of fire safety and egress-related concerns suggests ongoing building maintenance challenges. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various violation notices, though it has generally responded by correcting most cited issues, with a mix of emergency and non-emergency classifications for complaints.
