Augrented Insights Report for 231 East 55th Street

The 46-story condominium building at 231 East 55th Street in Midtown, completed in 2001 and containing 40 units, has recently experienced some concerning maintenance issues. Most notably, in December 2024, there was a reported mold problem that prompted an HPD inspection attempt, though the investigation was not completed.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2018 and regular rodent inspections (most recently in January 2025) consistently passing. The property underwent significant construction-related scrutiny in 2021, with multiple violations recorded between August and December of that year regarding construction safety compliance, including working against stop work orders, improper scaffolding installation, and safety plan violations.

These issues resulted in fines totaling $6,625, though all violations were ultimately resolved. The building also faced several administrative violations in 2022-2023 regarding failure to submit annual EER reports, though these were dismissed once compliance was demonstrated. The most recent building inspections and violations suggest improved compliance, with no new construction or safety issues reported since 2021, and the property has successfully passed multiple routine inspections for both bedbugs and rodents in recent years.
