444 West 35th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

444 West 35th Street is an 18-story residential building in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Abraham Kurian, containing 86 units and constructed in 1989. The building has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably experiencing heat and hot water issues in February 2025, which were reportedly resolved during inspection, and a pest-related sanitary complaint from December 2023 that HPD was unable to inspect.

A notable housing maintenance violation was recorded in March 2024 for defective self-closing doors in apartment 9B. The building underwent facade work in 2024, which drew attention from the Department of Buildings due to concerns about worker safety certification, though this issue was ultimately resolved with no penalties. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), and only two recorded cases between 2019-2020 that were properly eradicated.

Regular rodent inspections show consistent passing results from 2010 through 2024, indicating effective pest management. While the building has faced periodic heating issues and pest complaints, many of these have been promptly addressed, and the establishment of a regular rodent management program suggests proactive maintenance measures are in place. The building's heat/hot water systems and general sanitation conditions appear to require continued monitoring based on the recent complaints and their resolutions.
