Augrented Insights Report for 451 West 44th Street

451 West 44th Street is a 6-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Lei Ong and located in Hell's Kitchen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding indoor air quality, safety systems, and water-related problems. Notably, there have been recurring indoor air quality complaints in 2022, and multiple safety concerns in February 2022 regarding broken window guards, non-functional smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, though no violations were ultimately issued for these inspections.

The building has been subject to water leak issues, particularly in late 2019, and experienced heat and hot water problems in 2018. More recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing compliance challenges, with open violations as of 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and 2023 violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings. The building has also faced issues requiring bait application for rat activity in 2023, though passed inspections were recorded in 2024.

Previous Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 include lead paint hazard documentation requirements for Apartments 1, 26, and 52. The property has had several construction-related complaints, including work without proper permits in 2021, though inspections found no violations at those times. An emergency water leak situation was reported in December 2019, and various maintenance issues have been documented through 311 complaints, including paint/plaster concerns and window-related problems. While many historical complaints have been resolved, the building continues to have several active violations as of 2023-2024, particularly regarding required reporting for bedbug inspections and lead paint compliance.
