Augrented Insights Report for 237 East 53rd Street

The 6-story, 18-unit tenement building at 237 East 53rd Street in Midtown, owned by Robert Kalimian, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues since 2018, with the most concerning recent patterns involving heating systems, rodent activity, and building maintenance compliance. Most recently, in 2024-2025, there have been two tobacco-related complaints, one of which was resolved by the Health Department, suggesting ongoing issues with smoking policy enforcement.

The building suffered from heating system problems in late 2021, with complaints recorded for both the entire building and individual apartments, though some issues were reported as resolved. Multiple rodent inspections since 2021-2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 noting these issues persist.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 to 2024, with all filings showing zero infested units. Historical maintenance code violations from 2018 demonstrate attention to building safety, including the installation of window guards and various repairs to public areas, such as staircase safety improvements, storage closet maintenance, and remediation of defective doors, although these have since been marked as closed through proper certification processes.
