Augrented Insights Report for 19 West 55th Street

The 10-story New Law Tenement building at 19 West 55th Street, owned by 19 W 55 LLC, has experienced significant ongoing heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Between December 2024 and May 2025, there were ten separate complaints about heating issues, including multiple instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has also faced persistent elevator problems, with numerous violations and complaints between 2023-2024, including issues with hoist ropes, communication devices, door systems, and maintenance logs, resulting in multiple active violations with substantial penalties totaling over $40,000. Additional concerns included evidence of rodent activity in 2024, with inspections showing rat presence, particularly affecting Apartment 7C, which was cited for various violations including rodent infestations, inadequate hot water, and plumbing issues in 2024.

The building has several active Department of Buildings violations related to energy efficiency and inspection requirements, including failure to display energy scores and submit required reports, as well as issues with the building's emergency systems and safety equipment. While the bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no documented infestations, the building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services and systems, particularly regarding heating infrastructure and elevator functionality.
