Augrented Insights Report for 224 East 53rd Street

224 East 53rd Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, owned by Ramin Shalom and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced chronic heating and hot water system issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed through 2024-2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply to both individual apartments and the entire building. Notable current concerns include an open complaint from March 2025 regarding an electric/gas range malfunction, and a food establishment permit complaint from June 2025 that remains in progress with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The property has a pattern of maintenance issues as evidenced by numerous Housing Maintenance Code Violations, particularly in August 2024 when violations were documented in Apartment 2A regarding hot water supply and safety equipment, and in March 2023 involving similar issues in Apartment 4A with overheating hot water, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and window guard concerns. The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing compliance, though a February 2025 inspection noted rat activity. Bedbug reporting from 2022 through 2024 shows no reported infestations.

The property has seen various infrastructure and safety concerns, including several plumbing emergencies (most recently in April 2025), door/window issues, and a carbon monoxide detector complaint in March 2023. An inspection in June 2025 regarding a vent/exhaust complaint resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. While the building's age and location suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, the frequency and variety of complaints over recent years indicate ongoing building system and maintenance issues that require attention.
