Augrented Insights Report for 36 West 56th Street

The five-story, three-unit residential building at 36 West 56th Street in Midtown, owned by Shoki Kaneda, was constructed in 1920 and currently operates as a Class A building. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in February 2025 and March 2024, marking at least nine documented heating system problems since 2021. Notably, in June 2023, a combination of maintenance issues was identified in apartment 3C, including violations for mold (both Class A and Class B), lack of hot water (Class C), and problems with ceiling plaster and paint (Open Class B violation).

The building's elevator system has been a significant concern, with multiple inspections and complaints between 2018 and 2021 showing recurring "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" violations, resulting in fines totaling $3,750. Recent records indicate no bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), and rodent inspections from 2010 to 2022 have consistently passed. The building's history reveals ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly regarding heating systems, elevator functionality, and various code violations.

While some issues have been resolved through inspections and repairs, several violations remain open as of the latest records, particularly those from the June 2023 inspections. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations. The most recent heat and hot water issues in 2025, following a pattern of similar complaints over several years, suggest continuing challenges with building systems that affect resident comfort.
