30 West 31st Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

30 West 31st Street is an 18-story, 2009-built Class B building currently owned by Jaisun Ihm, located in Midtown. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past years. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a Department of Buildings violation for failure to submit annual elevator inspection reports for 2023, following a similar violation for 2022.

Between 2021-2022, the building faced multiple facade-related violations, including two Environmental Control Board violations in 2021 regarding deteriorating curtain wall joints, with penalties totaling $3,750. There is also a documented history of rodent issues, with rat activity reported in multiple inspections between 2009-2011, though recent inspections since 2014 have shown passed results. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance with no infestations reported since 2020, there was one recent Health Department complaint regarding pests/garbage in a food establishment in 2024, though this appears to be related to a commercial space rather than the residential building itself. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with most being resolved or dismissed.

Closed complaints in 2024 included an egress issue (no violation found at inspection) and a previous boiler complaint from 2020. Historical records demonstrate proper maintenance response, though the recurring nature of elevator inspection violations suggests some ongoing oversight challenges. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting periods with no reported infestations, and rodent inspections have shown improvement since 2011, with most recent inspections passing. The building's permit issuance records from 2019 demonstrate proper filing and approval processes for various work types, indicating compliance with construction and maintenance requirements during that period.
