39 West 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

39 West 27th Street is an 8-story, 1891 Class B building located in Midtown and currently owned by Calvin Kamuluddin. The property has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centered around structural integrity and pest control. In 2023, the building faced serious structural monitoring and stability concerns, with multiple complaints regarding building shaking and vibrations in February 2023, though inspections did not find violations warranting vacate orders.

A fire in early 2023 affected the first floor storage room, damaging floor joists and resulting in a temporary violation status, though this was later dismissed following proper inspections. The building has also maintained an active history of pest-related issues, with emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests filed in 2024 and 2020, both of which HPD was unable to inspect. Despite these challenges, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2022, indicating general maintenance in this area. The property has shown some positive compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infested units in the filings from 2021 to 2024.

However, there remains an active violation as of December 2023 regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores. Historical violations from 2019-2020 included issues with building exterior maintenance, though these were resolved. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to some violations, as seen in the timely resolution of certain structure-related issues following inspections, while other violations like the 2024 bedbug reporting requirement and the 2023 energy efficiency score display remain outstanding. Multiple annual bedbug reports between 2021-2024 indicated no actively infested units during the reporting periods, suggesting at least some level of pest control maintenance, despite the more recent complaints.
