Augrented Insights Report for 57 West 55th Street

57 West 55th Street is a 13-story, 79-unit residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by John Choi. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most recent being an ongoing smoking/vaping violation in progress as of June 2025.

There have been two significant flooding incidents in July 2024, one involving heavy flow and another classified as a water leak, though only one resulted in violations being issued. The property has faced recurring issues with its flooring/stairs, with multiple complaints noted between 2024 and 2025, including an apartment-specific violation involving defective hardwood floors in unit 10C. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various systemic issues, including a ventilation problem in 2024 affecting indoor air quality, pest management concerns in 2023-2024, and multiple elevator-related inspections between 2022-2024.

There have been several facade-related violations and inspection issues between 2020-2021, with multiple DOB violations for failure to file required energy reports and feedback on the building's exterior maintenance. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with a passed compliance inspection in June 2024 following earlier violations, while bedbug reports from 2019-2024 consistently show no infestation cases except for one in 2019 which was reportedly eradicated. The property's facade maintenance has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations between 2020-2024 related to bulged masonry, deteriorated mortar joints, and other structural issues affecting the building's exterior.
