Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

356 East 57th Street is a 6-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1928, currently managed by owner David Tinaj and containing 11 residential units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably in 2024 when residents reported building shaking and vibrations that prompted a violation from the Department of Buildings (DOB). That same year, exterior structural concerns were documented, including horizontal cracks on the parapet and chimneys, as well as improper storage on a fire escape balcony, resulting in a violation from the Environmental Control Board. The building has also been cited for multiple failures to file required high-pressure boiler inspection reports between 2020 and 2023, indicating potential neglect of essential safety requirements.

Recent inspections of the building's rodent conditions present a mixed picture: while an initial inspection in January 2025 passed, earlier inspections in 2021 (April and June) failed for various reasons. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated a rodent sighting complaint in 2021 that resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. However, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in any unit over the past several years, with all annual bedbug reports showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections (with most passing) and systematic bedbug reporting, suggesting some level of oversight despite the noted violations and safety concerns.
