Augrented Insights Report for 340 East 53rd Street

340 East 53rd Street is a 5-story, 15-unit old law tenement building located in Midtown and built in 1901, currently owned by William Roth. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with significant problems emerging in the 2024-2025 period showing patterns of unsatisfactory conditions.

Most notably, there are currently open complaints as of April 2025 regarding door/window problems, while multiple emergency complaints in late 2024 involved heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, and mold-related unsanitary conditions. These recent issues follow a series of violations and complaints from 2023-2024, including multiple violations related to self-closing doors in various locations (boiler room, roof) and ventilation system concerns. The building's inspection and violation history reveal recurring problems with water-related systems (heat, plumbing), while the presence of mold has been a persistent issue, with violations issued in both 2021 and 2024.

However, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, and a rodent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a "Passed" compliance status, following a failed initial inspection in February 2025. The building has undergone several inspections for various maintenance issues, with most violations from 2023-2024 being officially closed after repairs, suggesting some responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The current open door/window complaint as of April 2025, however, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges in the building's systems and infrastructure.
