52 West 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

52 West 27th Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in Midtown and owned by Deborah Bash.

The property, built in 1915, has a concerning pattern of unresolved maintenance issues dating back to 2018, primarily centered around Apartment 2, which has documented violations for both rodent infestations (mice) and inadequate hot water supply. A comprehensive series of building safety notice violations were also recorded in February 2018, including failures to post required notifications regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and heating system access information, as well as not properly displaying the building registration number and inspection certificate.

More recent concerns include a 2024 violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and an April 2021 incident involving the boiler system that resulted in a $1,562 penalty for various heating system deficiencies including blocked ventilation and an incomplete boiler room access information sign, though this violation was eventually resolved. It's noteworthy that while the building had several rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2014, all of these inspections passed, suggesting that the most recent documented rodent issue in 2018 represents a significant health and safety concern that remains unresolved, along with multiple other open violations regarding building safety and maintenance requirements.
