304 West 40th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

The 24-unit, 4-story building at 304 West 40th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Isidoros Michalos and constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement, has experienced several notable events over recent years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a smoking violation addressed by DOHMH, and prior to that, a complaint in May 2023 regarding work without a permit was investigated but found to have no violations.

The building underwent a significant inspection in 2021 which resulted in a Housing Maintenance Code violation for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this has since been resolved as evidenced by subsequent filings. The building's bedbug reports from 2022 through the present consistently show zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management.

While there have been three attempted inspections in 2018-2019 regarding illegal hotel rooms and building stability concerns, inspectors were unable to gain access during these visits. The property's rodent inspections present a mixed picture - while passing inspections were recorded from 2010-2019 and in 2024, there was one failed inspection in January 2017, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. The building's maintenance history shows a reasonable pattern of addressing violations and participating in required inspections, with particular attention to pest management and rodent control, though some complaints have required multiple inspection attempts to gain access for verification.
