Augrented Insights Report for 533 West 45th Street

The five-story, 20-unit tenement at 533 West 45th Street in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1920 and currently owned by Albert Sontag, has experienced a range of maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing current concerns include open complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage (since March 2025) and multiple failed HPD inspections in 2025 regarding a window pane and electric/gas range, where inspectors were unable to gain access.

The building has documented problems with its intercom system, plumbing, and general maintenance in recent years, with two unsatisfactory rodent inspections in 2022 indicating potential pest control challenges. The property has an active equipment inspection violation regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2019 and 2020. Numerous code violations remain open, particularly focusing on Apartment 1D, where issues with plaster surfaces, paint uniformity, and various systems have been documented.

Historical maintenance records show periodic rodent inspection failures and the need for system repairs, including a 2019 boiler-related violation. Despite these issues, the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting with no documented infestations since 2019, and a rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. Recent HPD inspections have resulted in a mix of violation issuance and closures, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
