Augrented Insights Report for 535 56th Street

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 535 56th Street in Sunset Park, built in 1905 and currently owned by Chengli & Co Inc, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating systems and general maintenance. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was quickly resolved. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with similar complaints appearing in December 2023 and March 2024, as well as multiple violations related to these systems in late 2024.

A significant cluster of violations was issued in November-December 2024, including issues with flooring, windows, sanitation (mold), plumbing, and cabinets, all of which required the owner to correct the conditions within specified timeframes. Apartment 4R has documented violations that were issued in December 2024, including problems with mold, paint, plumbing fixtures, doors, and windows, though these violations were closed with certification by January 2025. The building's infrastructure has also faced challenges, including a Department of Buildings complaint from June 2023 regarding boiler issues, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

An Environmental Control Board violation was issued the same day, noting problems with the chimney cleanout door, combustion air screen, and hot water heater flue connections, though this violation was subsequently resolved. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four inspection periods from 2021 to 2025. The most recent bedbug report from June 2025 shows no inhabited units affected by infestations during the 2024 filing period.
