Augrented Insights Report for 401 West 53rd Street

401 West 53rd Street, a 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement built in 1910 in Hell's Kitchen and currently owned by Sal Radoncic, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being multiple heat and hot water complaints. Between December 2022 and December 2024, there were at least four documented instances of heat or hot water problems, including a December 2024 complaint for which HPD was unable to gain access to investigate.

The building has faced significant rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2022-2023, though a September 2023 compliance inspection passed. There were also serious violations related to illegal short-term rentals in 2018-2019, resulting in fines for lack of proper safety systems like sprinklers and fire alarms, though these violations were resolved.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recorded several food establishment-related complaints between 2018-2023, including rodent and hygiene issues, all of which were addressed. Recent inspections show the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past seven reporting periods (2018-2024), and while there have been various building maintenance complaints, including a sidewalk shed issue in 2025, most have been resolved promptly. The property currently has one open Housing Maintenance Code violation from February 2022 regarding cornice paint maintenance.
