352 West 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

This 4-story, 3-unit building in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Jack Randazzo, has experienced recurring heat, hot water, and plumbing issues over the past few years, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint filed in January 2025 still pending inspection access. A significant cluster of violations recorded in March 2023 specifically affects Apartment 3 on the 3rd story, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and gas supply issues.

The building's maintenance history shows multiple emergency complaints regarding water supply and heat/hot water problems between 2022 and 2025, though many of these were closed without inspection due to access issues. In addition to these persistent maintenance challenges, the building has active Department of Buildings violations from April 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections. The property has undergone various inspections and investigations regarding bedbug infestation, with the most recent annual report filed in April 2023 showing zero infested units for the period from November 2021 to October 2022.

Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with a failed inspection in October 2024 and multiple successful inspections in previous years, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in October 2018. Two separate complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building were filed in 2021 and 2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access in both cases. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and class (Old Law Tenement) is typical for this neighborhood, and while many service requests have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat, hot water, and plumbing issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
