Augrented Insights Report for 343 West 51st Street

This 7-story, 20-unit residential building at 343 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Milton Davis, has experienced recurring heating system issues and maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, throughout 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with inspections often unable to gain access to affected apartments.

The building has documented several unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and a mold issue in summer 2024, though not all complaints resulted in violations due to lack of access for inspections. In May 2024, Building Department inspections revealed multiple fire safety door issues requiring repairs to self-closing doors and latchsets on various floors, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by June 2024. The elevator system has been a recurring point of concern, with five complaints about single device service between 2019-2024, though inspections each time found no violations.

The building currently has two active violations on record from 2020 and 2024 regarding required inspections or reports that were not filed. Monthly bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show consistently "0" infestations, and recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2024 have all passed. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and fire safety features, it's worth noting that many violations have been resolved promptly when access for inspection and remediation was granted.
