Augrented Insights Report for 53 West 106th Street

The 6-story, 16-unit tenement building at 53 West 106th Street in the Upper West Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Kavi Sukhram, has experienced recurring heating issues in 2024, with multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat/hot water in June 2024 that HPD could not verify due to lack of building access. The building has faced several maintenance challenges, including significant pest control issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests documented between 2023-2024. A concerning pattern emerged in late 2023-early 2024, with several complaints about various building systems including electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance issues (buzzer/intercom, door/window problems, and flooring issues) - though these complaints were also closed without access being granted for inspection.

The building's maintenance history reveals notable violations and problems, particularly in 2021-2023, related to building envelope and safety. There are multiple active and resolved ECB violations from 2023 regarding work conducted by contractors, including failure to properly post tenant protection plans and issues with suspended scaffold use. Structural concerns have been documented dating back to 2019, including problems with the decorative facade stone panel and brick façade mortar joints. The building's elevator system has required multiple inspections, with one passing inspection in 2024.

While there have been periodic heating issues and pest problems, most recently in mid-2024, the building's bedbug reports have shown no infestations since 2020, and rodent inspections conducted in 2023-2024 show alternating results between "Passed" and "Rat Activity" findings. The property has an active violation for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by the February 2024 deadline and a historical pattern of problems with building envelope maintenance, including cracked stucco and spalling brick noted in various inspections. Several housing maintenance code violations from 2019 were issued regarding individual apartments, particularly in unit 6B, but these were eventually resolved. Throughout its recent history, the building has demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems, pest control, and building envelope maintenance.
