Augrented Insights Report for 345 West 53rd Street

The 14-unit, 4-story residential building at 345 West 53rd Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Albert Myers, has experienced persistent pest issues and maintenance challenges since 2024, with the most recent evidence including an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests from May 2025 and multiple rodent-related incidents. The building's maintenance history shows significant concerns between 2024-2025, including multiple heat/hot water complaints that were categorized as emergencies, along with issues regarding ventilation systems, wall conditions, cabinets, electrical outlets, and pest-related problems, all of which were eventually closed. The property had active Environmental Control Board violations in 2024 related to unauthorized alterations in Unit 3A, including unpermitted electrical work, plumbing modifications, and construction of a partition wall, with penalties totaling $13,250.

Historical records from 2019 indicate serious safety compliance issues when the building was found to be operating with illegal transient use in certain units (1C and 3C), resulting in multiple violations related to means of egress, fire safety systems, and occupancy classification, though these were eventually resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports showing no active infestations since at least 2019, and while rodent activity has been documented through various inspections, recent inspections in 2025 have shown improved compliance. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections in 2025, including one as recent as April 2025, with only one initial inspection result indicating rat activity.

A notably high number of service requests related to unsanitary conditions and pests were recorded in 2024, though many of these were closed following inspections, with violations issued in some cases. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest management, though there have been improvements in certain areas, such as the successful completion of several non-emergency maintenance issues in mid-2025. The most current data indicates an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests from May 2025, the building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no active infestations, and rodent inspections in 2025 have shown improved compliance with only one instance of recorded rat activity.
