411 West 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

The seven-story building at 411 West 39th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Maria Meskouris, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, though current conditions appear stable. The property, built in 1900 and containing 6 units, has maintained an active bedbug reporting compliance record since 2020, with all recent filings (2021-2025) showing zero infested units. While two rodent-related incidents were reported in December 2023 and October 2024, both inspections resulted in no violations.

The building faced major challenges between 2018-2029 regarding illegal transient occupancy, with multiple complaints about unauthorized hotel room conversions, particularly concerning a third-floor unit. This led to several Environmental Control Board violations related to inadequate fire safety systems and egress requirements for transient use, though these violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. The property's regulatory history shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all such checks between 2012-2024, although there was one rat activity report in January 2014.

The building has demonstrated a commitment to addressing maintenance requirements, as evidenced by its timely bedbug reporting and passing inspections. The most recent violation recorded in 2024 was related to an overdue bedbug report, though this appears to be a documentation issue given subsequent filings showed no infestation. The building's management has generally responded appropriately to regulatory requirements, with most violations being resolved through proper certification or correction, particularly regarding the previously identified illegal occupancy issues.
