Augrented Insights Report for 253 West 72nd Street

This 24-story, 259-unit residential building at 253 West 72nd Street, owned by Anna Seddio, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is the active status of a violation regarding unsanitary conditions and pests as of June 2025, and a 2024 finding of building facade problems including cracked/chipped/missing terra cotta around windows and masonry issues on the north elevation.

The building has a documented history of infestation challenges, with the latest bedbug reports from 2023-2024 showing one infested unit in each of the last three reporting periods. The property has faced various infrastructure and safety challenges, including a partial vacate order issued in April 2023 due to shifted parapet wall and cracked brick masonry concerns, which remains in active status.

There were also multiple complaints and violations related to fire safety equipment, including smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues in 2019. While recent building inspections for rodent presence have consistently passed (most recently in August 2024), the building's maintenance history shows persistent issues requiring attention, particularly regarding exterior maintenance, facade safety, and periodic heating/hot water complaints. The Department of Buildings records also indicate multiple construction-related complaints and safety compliance issues throughout 2023-2024, including violations related to scaffold installation and construction safety.
