Augrented Insights Report for 53 East 57th Street

53 East 57th Street is a 53-story Class B building located in Midtown, constructed in 1992 and currently owned by Joseph Hicks. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024, all related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. The building has also faced several environmental and safety concerns in recent years, including an open violation from 2024 regarding failure to submit an EER (Energy Efficiency Report) for 2023, and multiple years (2022-2023) of violations for not filing required energy benchmarking reports.

Between 2020-2021, the building was cited for various construction and safety compliance issues, including a failed C-Hook installation (resulting in a $2,500 penalty) and problems with fire shutter door functionality. A 2025 complaint regarding the building being vacant, open, and unguarded was investigated but found no violations. The Department of Buildings has issued multiple permits for various work on the property between 2019 and 2024, including plumbing, electrical, and exterior work.

The building's maintenance history shows generally passing inspections for rodent control in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2017, indicating no significant rodent issues during those periods. One notable food establishment complaint was lodged against the building in 2019 regarding food contamination, though this was closed in 2024. The property's open violations related to bedbug reporting and energy compliance suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining required documentation, while the historical pattern of permits indicates regular maintenance and updates to building systems.
