43 West 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

43 West 27th Street is a 9-story, 16-unit residential building located in Midtown and owned by Alexander Horn. Built in 1907, this property has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2024, there was a complaint about chemical vapors and indoor air quality issues, which resulted in the Department of Health sending a notice to the property management.

Earlier in 2023, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though no violations were found after inspection. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with complaints filed in both 2021 and 2019, though inspections found no violations at that time. In 2022, there was an issue regarding the failure to submit required safety inspection reports (FISP Cycle 9A), which remains active as of 2023.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 and 2022 indicate past safety concerns, including inadequate pedestrian protection during overhead work and failure to provide required examination documentation, though these issues were ultimately resolved. The property has maintained a clean record for pest control, with no reported cases of bedbugs in the past three years (2021-2024) and consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2014. While the building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, the recurrence of elevator-related issues and the recent indoor air quality complaint suggest areas requiring ongoing monitoring. The building's permit history shows activity in early 2019, with permits issued for work to be performed, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the provided data.
