412 West 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

The 14-unit, 6-story tenement building at 412 West 36th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Carolyn Rusin, has a significant record of both code violations and maintenance issues since 2018. Most notably, there is an open pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent violations recorded in April 2024. The building experienced serious safety concerns in 2019, including multiple violations related to illegal transient use of apartment 3R, which were documented by the Environmental Control Board and Department of Buildings.

These violations included failures to maintain required egress systems, automatic sprinklers, and a fire alarm system, though all were subsequently resolved or dismissed by December 2019. A concerning active violation from July 2024 remains regarding the removal of a vacate order, with a substantial $12,500 penalty imposed. The building's inspection history shows regular rodent inspections since 2011, with a pattern of passing results, though there were documented rat activity issues in 2010.

The property's violation history includes various citations for not certifying corrections to hazardous violations between 2018-2021, all of which were ultimately dismissed. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in October 2024), the persistent bedbug report filing violations and the active vacate order violation suggest ongoing compliance challenges. The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple legal proceedings related to these violations, indicating a history of property management issues that have required extensive oversight by regulatory authorities.
