Augrented Insights Report for 434 West 52nd Street

434 West 52nd Street is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Gabriel Deleg. The property has a significant history of heating system issues, particularly during winter months, with multiple violations and complaints between 2021 and 2024 regarding heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Notable incidents occurred in January 2022 when violations were issued for excessive hot water temperatures in multiple apartments (specifically Units 2 and 3), and a December 2024 complaint about heat/hot water issues that HPD could not verify access for inspection.

The building has also experienced recurring problems with cooking gas systems, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2018 and 2019, though recent reports show no active gas-related issues. The property has been subject to various compliance matters regarding its occupancy and safety systems. In 2020, the building faced several Environmental Control Board violations concerning illegal transient occupancy of Apartment 2, resulting in fines related to inadequate means of egress, lack of required sprinkler systems, and missing fire alarm infrastructure.

While these violations were marked as resolved, they indicate previous concerns about unauthorized hotel-like operations in the building. More recent inspections have shown the property to be generally compliant with bedbug reporting requirements (showing zero infestations in recent filings) and rodent control measures, though there have been periods of rat activity observed between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent passing inspection conducted in July 2024. The building's history also includes various maintenance issues such as door/window problems (September 2021) and electrical concerns (August 2018), though these appear to be less frequent than the heating and gas-related complaints. There is an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection results, suggesting some ongoing regulatory oversight requirements.
