Augrented Insights Report for 162 East 55th Street

162 East 55th Street is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Jane Goldman. The building has experienced persistent pest and maintenance issues throughout recent years, with ongoing rodent activity being a significant concern. Most recently, the building was inspected in June 2025 and confirmed to have rat activity, following previous inspections in 2024-2025 showing mixed results between failed inspections and compliance passes.

The property has documented multiple food establishment-related complaints between 2023 and 2025, with particular attention to rodent and insect issues, though all these service requests were ultimately closed as addressed. The building has faced various safety and maintenance challenges, including significant Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2020-2021 affecting apartment 3B, particularly regarding mold, window issues, and bathroom repairs. Safety concerns were also noted with missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in 2021.

More recently, the building has two active violations in 2023 regarding failure to maintain emergency power connections for exit signs and not certifying corrections for an immediately hazardous violation. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with complaints about single device operation in 2023, though no violation was warranted at the time of inspection. The building's bedbug reporting history shows occasional infestations, with one reported case in the 2022-2023 period, though subsequent reports in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 show no affected units.
