Augrented Insights Report for 246 East 53rd Street

246 East 53rd Street is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Carl Finger. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints in 2024-2025, including an open complaint from November 2024 that is currently unresolved.

Pests have been an ongoing concern, with multiple complaints in 2023-2024 reporting unsanitary conditions, though these complaints were closed without inspections being completed. A significant inspection in May 2023 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 8, including issues with window guards, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, painting requirements, and a confirmed mice infestation, though these violations have not been certified as resolved. The building has undergone several safety inspections in 2025, resulting in one Oath Violation and one Partial Stop Work Order, suggesting some ongoing compliance issues.

Historical records show consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2010 to 2025, though the building did not submit any bedbug reports between 2021 and 2025. Three complaints regarding unauthorized construction work were filed between 2023 and 2025, with at least one resulting in a failure to gain access for inspection. The property maintains a legacy as a "New Law Tenement" building, and while most recent violations appear to be primarily safety-related rather than structural, there are concerning patterns of unresolved heating issues and pest infestations that have persisted over multiple years.
