Augrented Insights Report for 539 West 49th Street

539 West 49th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Tomas Aponte. The Hell's Kitchen property has experienced recurrent heat and hot water issues over recent years, with multiple emergency complaints registered through HPD in 2025 (January) and 2023 (October-November).

These building-wide heating problems have been persistent, showing a pattern of similar complaints dating back to 2020. Additionally, the building has faced pest control challenges, with rodent activity documented through multiple inspections between 2021 and 2024, though recent inspections from 2024-2025 show improvement with passing results. The property had some elevator safety concerns in 2020, when three air conditioning units were found to obstruct egress at the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th story front balconies, along with flower pots blocking fire escape egress at the 3rd story - these violations were subsequently corrected.

The building's bedbug infestation history shows a relatively controlled situation, with three years (2018, 2020, and 2022) reporting infestations of varying degrees, while the more recent reports from 2023-2024 show zero infested dwelling units. Recent rodent control efforts in 2023-2024 indicate active management of pest issues, with multiple bait applications and the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing without violations. While the building is over a century old and has experienced typical urban maintenance challenges, recent records suggest some improvement in both pest control and heating system responsiveness, though heating issues remain a recurring concern impacting resident comfort.
