Augrented Insights Report for 40 Morningside Drive

40 Morningside Drive is a 13-story, 430-unit residential building located in Morningside Heights, constructed in 2014 and owned by Richard Mason. The building has experienced several maintenance and comfort issues over its life, with the most recent concerns focusing on flooring conditions in early 2025, including at least one emergency complaint.

Previous significant issues include sewage odor problems (October 2024), window frame problems (late 2024), a plumbing issue involving a sink (late 2023), and a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building (January 2023), though heating was reportedly restored promptly. The building has a documented history of three bedbug infestations between 2018-2024, with the most recent case reported in December 2024 involving one unit. Currently, there are two active complaints with the Department of Buildings as of mid-2025 regarding illegal hotel rooms and elevator equipment issues.

The building has had various work and maintenance compliance matters, including an open violation from 2019 regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 231, and past concerns about elevator maintenance that resulted in multiple enforcement actions between 2019-2020. The property has also faced several regulatory inspections and violations related to construction safety, parking structure maintenance, and energy efficiency certification requirements. While many historical violations have been resolved, including those related to heat/hot water systems, plumbing, and window frames, the pattern of flooring-related complaints and recent maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and responsiveness to resident concerns.
