Augrented Insights Report for 440 East 56th Street

440 East 56th Street is a 12-story, 82-unit residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Christopher Alker. The building has experienced recurring issues with sanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest problems, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 and 2023, though inspections generally found no violations.

A significant heating problem was reported in January 2023 affecting one apartment, with additional heating complaints in February 2021 noted as affecting the entire building, resulting in open violations related to inadequate heat supply and locked access to the heating system at the boiler room. The building's management has faced challenges with compliance requirements, currently showing multiple active violations for failure to file energy use benchmarking reports from 2023-2024, and a 2018 violation regarding exterior wall examination documentation. Various service requests have been made regarding work without permits, though inspections typically found no violations.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2019, and passed recent rodent inspections. The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections in 2024-2025 regarding drainage issues and elevator systems, but again found no violations warranting penalties. While there have been numerous maintenance complaints logged, particularly during 2023-2024, most have been resolved with no violations found, suggesting prompt response to tenant concerns.
