Augrented Insights Report for 329 West 55th Street

The three-story, 24-unit building at 329 West 55th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Joe Doren, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone various regulatory scrutiny over the years. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues, particularly notable during September-October 2018 when several simultaneous complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including concerns about water leaks, smoke detectors, plumbing issues, wall condition, and lighting - though none of these inspections resulted in any violations being issued.

More seriously, there are currently open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2018 regarding the improper posting of critical safety and building information in the first-story public hall, including gas leak procedures, inspection certificates, and contact information for building maintenance personnel. Recent history shows a boiler-related violation in 2022 that remains active as of now, with a penalty of $625 related to an unregistered natural gas Weil McLain 588 unit in the cellar.

The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent filings in 2023-2024 showing no infested or eradicated units, following a period from 2019-2020 when one unit experienced infestation that was subsequently treated. The property has maintained a good record regarding rodent inspections, passing the most recent inspection in October 2024, with previous inspections in 2021, 2019, 2018, and 2017 also showing no significant issues, though there was one recorded instance of rat activity in 2015. The most recent complaint about after-hours work in 2025 did not result in any violations.
