Augrented Insights Report for 500 West 42nd Street

500 West 42nd Street is a 25-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 2001, currently owned by Joe Restuccia. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its heating system, as evidenced by multiple boiler-related complaints and violations between 2022-2024. Active environmental control board violations from 2023-2024 indicate problems with the boiler system and heating equipment that required correction.

Recent housing maintenance code complaints in 2025 include issues with an electric/gas range, and several plumbing problems (toilets and sinks) that were either not properly inspected or remain unresolved. The building's infrastructure has faced persistent challenges, as shown by the frequency of elevator-related complaints, with multiple reports between 2023-2025 regarding single device service issues, though these complaints were typically found not to warrant violations upon inspection. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations related to maintenance and safety systems.

Notably, there were periods in 2024 where apartments 2K and 2M had violations regarding paint and plaster conditions, while apartment 3H had issues with missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that were subsequently resolved. The building's management has been diligent in addressing most violations, as evidenced by the closure of numerous complaints, though some issues remain outstanding. Recent inspections in 2025 have generally shown compliance with health codes, including a passed rodent inspection and a drinking water investigation with no noted violations. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestations, with only one case reported in 2023-2024 that was promptly addressed.
