Augrented Insights Report for 2 East 55th Street

The St. Regis New York, a 19-story hotel built in 1904, currently faces several pressing maintenance issues as of 2025. Most notably, there are open violations related to annual bedbug report filings for 2021-2024, and the building has received multiple citations regarding facade safety from 2019 through 2024, with the most recent active violations from December 2024 concerning unsafe facade conditions and inadequate safety measures.

The building's infrastructure has shown recurring problems, including plumbing issues with leaks documented in 2024, elevator violations, and various maintenance complaints between 2019 and 2025. A concerning pattern of mobile food vendor inspections between 2023 and 2024 suggests ongoing health and safety monitoring requirements in the vicinity. The property has also experienced some safety incidents, including an elevator accident in September 2021 that required medical attention.

Recent inspections and complaints show a mix of resolved and active violations, with significant oversight involving the Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board. External facade maintenance appears to be a persistent issue, with multiple violation notices related to broken glass and spalled stonework. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to these issues, as evidenced by permit filings and attempted resolutions, but multiple open violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and facade safety, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance compliance.
