52 West 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

This 25-story Class B building located at 52 West 36th Street in Midtown, owned by Jaisun Ihm, was constructed in 2010 and has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues over its lifespan. The most recent significant concern involves an active façade safety notification filed in February 2025 under Façade (LL11/98) requirements. The building has shown consistent elevator-related compliance challenges, with multiple violations recorded between 2018 and 2024, though inspections in late 2024 found no violations regarding multiple devices on property.

There have been two administrative violations for failing to file required reports in 2023 and 2024, related to benchmarking energy use and external low-pressure inspections, though these were dismissed upon review. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. While there were initial rat activity concerns found during the 2010 inspection, subsequent rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012 resulted in passing grades.

The property has undergone various permitted work, with significant permits issued in July and August 2019 related to plumbing and exterior work. Historical records show a pattern of timely addressing violations, with most being resolved or dismissed upon inspection, though there are recent concerns about façade safety that warrant attention. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing management of building systems, particularly elevators, though recent years show fewer recurring violations compared to earlier periods.
