50 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

50 West 22nd Street is a three-story commercial building located in Manhattan's Flatiron District, built in 1851 and currently owned by Roey Yaloz. The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues, particularly during 2022-2023, with multiple complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Inspections revealed varying results, including findings of rat activity in January 2023, and previous inspections in 2022 also noted rat activity.

The property has undergone several regulatory interactions, including violations in 2021-2022 related to bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infested dwelling units. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed inspections and instances of rodent activity requiring attention. The property has maintained regulatory compliance in recent bedbug reporting periods (2022-2025), with all reports indicating zero infested units.

Building permits from 2019 show two active permits issued for plumbing (PL) and electrical wiring (EW) work, though specific details of these improvements were not provided in the records. While the building has demonstrated efforts to address pest control through various inspections and reporting mechanisms, the concerning pattern of rodent complaints and inspections throughout 2022-2023 highlights a significant recurring issue, though more recent inspections suggest some progress has been made. The most recent inspection records as of 2023-2024 show improved bedbug and rodent management, with no new infestations reported in the past two years.
