Augrented Insights Report for 409 West 48th Street

409 West 48th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Moses Berkowitz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concern being pest-related problems, as evidenced by a March 2025 HPD complaint that resulted in violations being issued. Between late 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage and issues with building management, though access for proper inspection was not granted in at least two instances.

The building has also faced various safety and maintenance challenges, including a 2024 heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has a troubling history of illegal conversions and transient use violations from 2018-2019, particularly concerning Apartment 2FE, which was cited for failing to maintain proper egress, fire alarm systems, and sprinkler systems for transient use. Although some of these violations were marked as resolved, several remain active with significant penalties associated.

A notable cluster of violations was documented in 2019-2020 regarding failure to maintain building systems and provide appropriate means of egress, with multiple disciplinary actions taken against MHK Associates LLC. While the building has demonstrated some improvements, as shown by recent rodent inspections passing in December 2024 and previous bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2021 through 2024, the persistence of certain violations and the pattern of maintenance complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building management. Recent inspections have also shown inconsistent results, with some complaints being closed without proper access or inspection verification. The most pressing current issues appear to be related to unsanitary conditions and garbage storage, based on the most recent centralized complaints and violations.
