351 West 38th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

351 West 38th Street is a 25-story, 374-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, completed in 2017 and currently owned by Anoop Rustgi. The building has experienced several significant events over its lifespan, with the most concerning being a pest-related sanitary issue reported in February 2023 that required HPD intervention, though this was subsequently resolved within approximately five weeks.

More recent activity includes a DOHMH inspection in early 2025 related to food establishment letter grading, which was also properly addressed. The building's history shows attention to construction safety and regulatory compliance, particularly during its initial years of operation. Multiple inspections and complaints regarding site conditions endangering workers were recorded between 2019-2020, with most concluding that no violations warranted enforcement action, though there was one instance in 2020 regarding boiler issues that resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

A significant regulatory matter occurred in 2020 involving a failure to certify corrections on an immediately hazardous violation, though this was ultimately dismissed. Despite these historical issues, the most reassuring aspect of the building's recent history is the complete absence of bedbug infestations reported over the past three years (2021-2024), with the most recent three annual filings showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building's management has generally responded appropriately to complaints and inspections, with violations being addressed through the proper channels, though some emergency repairs and permits have occasionally generated work orders and complaints requiring inspection.
