Augrented Insights Report for 435 West 54th Street

435 West 54th Street is a five-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Alex Laszlo. The building has faced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2023, when multiple emergency maintenance requests were filed for unsanitary conditions (pests), safety concerns (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), and maintenance issues including exposed electrical wiring, flooring problems, and various repairs that were subsequently closed.

There are notable open housing maintenance code violations as of 2023, primarily affecting basement apartment 1C, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and door locking mechanisms. The building has a concerning history of unauthorized short-term rental activity, with multiple Department of Buildings investigations between 2020 and 2025, resulting in partial vacate orders and several violations related to fire safety, egress requirements, and unauthorized modifications to the building structure.

While the building has maintained a relatively good track record in recent years regarding pest control (with no reported bedbug infestations since 2022), there have been recurring issues with rodent activity in inspections prior to 2019, though recent rodent inspections in 2024 show compliance. Historically, the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including previous problems with plumbing, intercom systems, and self-closing doors, with the most recent violations primarily centered around safety equipment and building code compliance issues.
