Augrented Insights Report for 400 West 59th Street

The 49-story, 729-unit residential building at 400 West 59th Street, owned by Richard Mason and completed in 1997, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recent incidents in 2025, including unresolved mold issues and heavy water leaks. Throughout 2023-2025, there was a notable pattern of pest-related complaints, with multiple reports of infestations despite some being resolved through inspection verification. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints in 2022 affecting both entire building and individual apartments.

The property has undergone various inspections and faced several compliance requirements, including the recent Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections that remains active as of July 2024. While the building had periods of bedbug issues between 2019-2025, with the most recent report in 2025 showing no active infestations, it previously recorded infestations in two units in 2023. The building's infrastructure has been regularly maintained, with several permits issued for work between 2018-2020, including elevator systems. Recent records show passing rodent inspections as of October 2024.

There have been some construction-related safety issues noted through Environmental Control Board violations, particularly in 2022-2023 regarding scaffolding and safety equipment, though many were resolved or dismissed with no penalties. A 2021 violation for failure to file a FISP technical report and issues regarding energy efficiency reporting from 2021-2022 were eventually resolved or dismissed. The building's management has generally responded to maintenance issues as they arise, with many complaints being closed after verification of corrections. However, persistent issues with water leaks and pest problems indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent service requests from early 2025 regarding mold and water leaks suggest continued building maintenance concerns that require monitoring.
