Augrented Insights Report for 157 East 57th Street

157 East 57th Street is a 19-story, 112-unit residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Louisa Little. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding its infrastructure and habitability. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints in 2023 and early 2024, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

Between late 2024 and early 2025, there was a concerning cluster of food poisoning complaints involving three or more individuals, with at least one complaint being determined to be isolated, though inspections were warranted. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, evidenced by multiple violations related to rodents, insects, and unsanitary conditions in various common areas. The structure has required attention to critical systems and safety features, including documented issues with fire escapes, electrical wiring, and various maintenance violations.

A notable structural concern was documented in 2023 regarding cracks and spalling masonry near the garage entrance, though this violation was subsequently resolved. The building has undergone various construction work and improvements, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021, including significant remedial work on the exterior walls. Recent inspections as of 2025 show improved conditions in some areas, with the most recent rodent inspection passing. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no recorded infestations in the past three filing periods.
