337 West 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

The 32-story residential building at 337 West 39th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Dani Elhachem and completed in 2006, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most recently, in April 2023, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations.

The building's elevator systems have generated consistent concerns, with multiple complaints between 2022-2023 regarding devices and maintenance issues, including a significant April 2023 violation that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. There have been recurring issues with submitting required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filings (2024) indicate no infestations occurred during the reporting periods. The building faced substantial construction safety concerns during its earlier years, particularly in 2020 when multiple violations were issued regarding scaffolding, facade work, and compliance with safety protocols, resulting in various penalties totaling over $9,000.

While most of these violations have been resolved, there remains an active violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file a FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report. The property has generally maintained good rodent control, with recent inspections showing compliance, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2021. The building has undergone regular inspections and maintenance, with the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 showing no active issues.
