Augrented Insights Report for 220 East 54th Street

220 East 54th Street is a 13-story, 144-unit residential building constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Lance Cohen. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, with documented complaints in November 2023, October 2020, and multiple instances in 2021, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. Recent inspections in early 2024 revealed several safety concerns in apartment 2H, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a defective self-closing door, and improper building entrance locks.

These violations were certified for correction in February 2024. The building has a history of moisture-related problems, with a slow water leak issue recorded in 2021 and additional violations in apartment 8F related to water damage, flooring, and wall conditions that remain open as of 2024. Earlier maintenance history shows both apartments 2H and 8F have experienced various deterioration issues requiring attention. The property has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with a significant number of passed inspections between 2011 and 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2016.

While the building had documented bedbug infestations in 2018 and 2019, recent reports from 2020 through 2024 indicate no current infestations. The building's management has addressed various regulatory requirements, including multiple permit issuances for maintenance work between 2018 and 2021, though there were some inspection findings related to construction equipment and reporting compliance in 2018-2019. The property has maintained generally satisfactory compliance with health and safety inspections, with most issues being addressed through proper channels, though the recurring heat and water service problems represent the most significant ongoing concern. Recent efforts appear focused on addressing both safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and building security (entrance locks) as part of routine maintenance and compliance updates.
