34 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The six-story, four-unit building at 34 West 22nd Street in the Flatiron District, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Florim Qosja, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is an unresolved plumbing/water supply issue reported in April 2025, where HPD was unable to complete its inspection. The building has multiple active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, though several past violations from this category have been dismissed.

In late 2024, a food poisoning incident was reported and determined to be isolated. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported infestations or treatments across multiple annual filings from 2019 through 2024. The property has experienced various maintenance and operational challenges, including multiple 311 service requests and Department of Buildings complaints.

These include a plumbing incident in 2025, an unfulfilled complaint regarding parking lot lights in early 2025, and historical complaints about construction work (2019), excessive debris (2018), and food establishment issues (2022-2024). The building's systems have undergone regular maintenance, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2018-2019 for various works, including plumbing and exterior improvements. Historical inspections for rodent issues (2010-2012) show passed results, indicating no significant pest problems prior to the bedbug reports, and the building's air quality has generally been satisfactory, with no significant health violations noted in recent years beyond the isolated food incidents.
