Augrented Insights Report for 38 West 45th Street

This 13-story, 1903 Midtown building, currently owned by Elvin Colon, has experienced several notable issues affecting resident comfort and building maintenance over the past five years. The most concerning recent incident was a heat and hot water outage in June 2022, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not verify due to access issues.

Prior to this, there were two pest-related complaints in May 2021 and August 2019, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history since 2019, with the most recent filings in 2024 and 2025 showing no infested units during the respective reporting periods. Of significant concern are the building's elevator maintenance issues, with three ECB violations between 2020 and 2024 related to equipment safety and functionality, including a 2021 violation regarding a non-working car door restrictor that incurred a $1,250 penalty.

Structural and maintenance concerns have also been documented, including a 2021 violation for exterior wall and facade maintenance issues on the north elevation, involving damaged window frames and spalling decorative stones, which resulted in $2,500 in penalties. The building's elevator system has been a recurring focus of inspections and violations, with multiple complaints regarding inoperative phones and cables, though a recent September 2024 inspection found no violations. The property has generally maintained compliance with health and safety inspections, with earlier rodent control inspections in 2010-2012 passing in all cases.
