Augrented Insights Report for 140 East 52nd Street

140 East 52nd Street is a 6-story, 40-unit residential building located in Midtown, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jose Amaral. The building has experienced several significant events and violations over the past years, with the most recent activity primarily involving food establishment inspections and regulatory compliance matters.

Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints related to food safety, including incidents of food contamination and letter grading evaluations. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, as evidenced by consistent reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units. Historically, the building faced serious safety concerns in 2018 when multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued for illegal transient use, citing failures to provide proper fire safety systems, means of egress, and sprinklers, resulting in penalties totaling $10,000.

The building has also had recurring issues with energy efficiency reporting, receiving violations for failing to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores between 2020 and 2023, though these violations were subsequently dismissed or resolved. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed compliance, continuing a pattern of generally passing inspections since 2010. The property has had multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various construction and maintenance work, indicating active management and maintenance of the building's systems.
