31 West 31st Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

31 West 31st Street is an 11-story commercial altered Class A building located in Midtown, Manhattan, owned by Andrew Alfanso and constructed in 1905. The building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most significant being active DOB violations from December 2021 related to failing to perform Category 5 inspections, which remain unresolved.

A plumbing water supply complaint was filed in April 2022, though inspections from both HPD and DOB found no violations. The Department of Health issued a warning in 2019 regarding potential food spoilage violations in one of the building's food establishment units, with a follow-up inspection required if issues persisted. The building's maintenance record shows generally positive results in pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filings from 2021 through 2025, and successful passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2023, indicating effective management of common building-wide sanitation issues.

Multiple DOB violations issued between 2018 and 2022 were dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects, though some violations from 2021 remain active. The property has one outstanding plumbing-related violation, and while there have been several complaints over the years, most have been resolved promptly. The building's overall record suggests a mix of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building inspections, but demonstrates effective management of pest control and prompt response to most service requests.
