Augrented Insights Report for 523 West 49th Street

The five-story, 11-unit Old Law Tenement building at 523 West 49th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Catherine Yu, has been in operation since 1910 and has undergone various maintenance and safety inspections over the years. The building currently has an open HPD complaint filed in January 2025 regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system, continuing a pattern of intercom-related issues with similar complaints in December 2024 and multiple reports in 2023. There have been recurring heating and hot water issues, with three complaints between 2020-2023, though these were generally resolved quickly.

The building experienced fire escape safety concerns in May 2023, which were inspected and found to have no violations. Recent inspections revealed several self-closing door issues, particularly with the roof bulkhead on the 5th story, with violations issued in 2022 and 2023, though these have since been closed. The building's maintenance record shows attention to various systems, including electrical outlets/switches work in 2022 and ceiling repairs in 2022.

Notably, there has been no evidence of bedbug infestations for the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), with only one documented case in 2018 that was promptly addressed. The building has maintained a good track record in rodent inspections, passing all ten inspections conducted since 2010. A locked/blocked egress issue was reported and addressed in March 2023, and an environmental violation regarding a double-hung fire escape window in apartment 4B was documented but resolved with no penalties imposed.
