Augrented Insights Report for 55 West 74th Street

55 West 74th Street is a 5-story, 19-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Rick Elezi. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and plumbing systems over the past few years, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water problems in late 2023 and early 2024, as well as water supply issues in January 2024. Structural concerns have also been documented, including several recent violations related to defective self-closing doors and fire door issues, with open violations as of April 2024 regarding fire door refits in the basement.

The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including water leaks (heavy flow in 2022), door/window problems, and rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rat activity reports between 2022 and 2024, though some inspections have shown compliance or passing results. While there were bed bug infestations documented in 2018-2019, recent filings from 2020 through 2024 show zero infested units or successful eradications, suggesting the issue has been resolved. A notable inspection in 2024 confirmed the presence of illegal conversion issues concerning additional living spaces in the basement, though the Department of Buildings ultimately found no violations warranted at the time of their inspection in 2022.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency complaints and inspections, particularly regarding essential services like heat and water supply, though many of these complaints have been closed without violations being issued. Recent rodent control efforts have been documented, with some inspections showing rat activity. The building's age and history as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure suggest it has undergone previous modifications, with some ongoing maintenance issues persisting despite regular inspections and complaints being filed by tenants over the years.
