Augrented Insights Report for 327 East 52nd Street

327 East 52nd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit converted old law tenement building located in Midtown and owned by Diana Hobson. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues in 2025, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between February and May 2025, culminating in rat activity being documented during inspections in February, March, May, June, and July 2025, with bait applied most recently in July 2025. An open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage was filed with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in February 2025.

The property has a concerning history of maintenance issues, including four documented water leak complaints (damp spots, slow leaks) and mold problems in October 2021, along with safety concerns regarding the fire escape that same month. These violations, though closed in November 2021, indicate past infrastructure challenges. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with open bedbug report violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though the April 2022 filing period reported no infested or re-infested units.

In 2020, there were significant issues regarding water heater replacements, leading to ECB violations and monetary penalties related to improper installation in a mixed-use building. While some of these violations were eventually resolved or dismissed, they highlight a pattern of compliance challenges. The property has undergone regular rat inspections since 2017, showing a persistence of rodent issues with only one passed inspection in November 2023, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges.
