Augrented Insights Report for 357 West 53rd Street

The 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 357 West 53rd Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Mark Drakotos and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a current unresolved sewage leak (February 2025) that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was unable to investigate due to access issues, and a smoke detector safety complaint (February 2025) that an HPD inspector could not access for verification.

The building has a history of plumbing issues, including recent complaints in July 2023 regarding toilets, though no violations were found upon inspection. A cluster of violations was documented in 2018 regarding Apartment 3E, including issues with pest control, bathroom fixtures, and various maintenance problems, though most were subsequently certified as corrected.

While there have been multiple rodent-related complaints (2022, 2023, 2024), these have all passed inspection, and the building has maintained a clean record in bedbug inspections since 2019, with zero reported cases in the past six filing periods. The building also had three separate emergency complaints filed in September 2020 regarding cooking gas, an electric/gas range, and intercom issues, with violations issued for the intercom system which was determined to be defective. Despite these challenges, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2016 to 2024 and shows no current bedbug infestation, suggesting some aspects of maintenance are being adequately addressed.
