Augrented Insights Report for 453 West 56th Street

453 West 56th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Joseph Sporn and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring heating and water issues, with the most recent complaint in February 2025 regarding heat/hot water problems in one apartment, following an entire building incident in November 2020.

The building has also faced significant moisture-related challenges, including multiple mold complaints in 2020, with associated violations issued in July 2020 concerning mold on wood floors and walls in apartment 4B. Additional maintenance issues emerged in 2020, particularly affecting apartment 4B, which required repairs to plaster surfaces and wooden floors, as well as addressing deficiencies in kitchen wall surfaces and a skylight screen.

The building's history includes periods of unauthorized work, as evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board violations in December 2019 related to unpermitted work in the cellar level, including plumbing and electrical installations, though these violations were ultimately resolved. Structural and maintenance concerns were previously documented through various Housing Maintenance Code violations, and while recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show no infestations, the property has maintained consistent rodent inspection results, passing all inspections between 2010 and 2024. The building appears to be actively addressing maintenance issues, as evidenced by the issuance of permits for repair work, including an electrical permit issued in September 2022.
