Augrented Insights Report for 554 West 53rd Street

As of July 2025, 554 West 53rd Street in Hell's Kitchen is experiencing multiple ongoing maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints filed in April 2025 regarding door/window problems and plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower. Throughout 2024-2025, the building has faced recurring challenges with basic services including heat/hot water (with multiple complaints), various appliance malfunctions (refrigerator, electric/gas range), and persistent plumbing issues including slow water leaks. Of particular concern are two active Environmental Control Board violations from October 2024 related to the building's sidewalk shed, citing rotten and broken steel posts creating instability hazards, each carrying a $10,000 penalty.

There have been significant elevator-related issues, with complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2024-2025, including an active complaint from April 2025. The building has undergone several interior repairs, with violations in apartments 7E, 4C, 2I1, 6B, and 5H1 addressed between 2020-2025, including repairs to ceilings, walls, and kitchen fixtures. The property has maintained a relatively low incidence of pest issues, with bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2021-2025, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 passing successfully, though there was one report of rat activity noted in 2013.

Safety equipment violations were addressed in 2024-2025, including repairs to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices in multiple apartments. Historical records show multiple instances of violations related to the building's energy efficiency reporting requirements between 2021-2022, though these were ultimately dismissed. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, many complaints involve issues that require tenant access for repairs, and inspections have generally found conditions not violating housing laws. The property's recent history suggests ongoing attention is needed to address both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, particularly regarding elevator service and plumbing systems.
