Augrented Insights Report for 534 West 50th Street

534 West 50th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, currently owned by Jacob Avid. The building has experienced persistent heating and water issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 and again in November 2023, as well as similar issues dating back to 2020. Between September 2023 and October 2023, multiple emergency complaints were reported regarding water leaks, flooring issues, and mold problems, though HPD was able to confirm corrections in some cases.

The building has had recurring pest control challenges, with multiple rodent sightings reported between 2021 and 2024, though a passed inspection in October 2024 suggests recent improvements in pest management. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2020, with no reported infestations or necessary eradications. The building has several open violations from 2018 inspections requiring attention, including issues with door locks, various safety notice postings (regarding smoke detectors, gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and tenant rights), though many earlier violations from the same inspection were subsequently closed.

A recent illegal conversion complaint from September 2023 could not be investigated due to access issues. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to housing maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple closed complaints, the recurrence of heating and water problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting annual bedbug reports, showing proactive compliance with this requirement.
