32 West 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 32 West 37th Street in Midtown, owned by Russ Panopoulos and constructed in 1926, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active violation as of June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection report.

The building underwent significant heating and hot water system issues in January 2018, when violations were recorded for inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 1, along with access problems to the heating system in the basement, though these were certified as corrected by January 24, 2018. A 2021 Housing Maintenance Code violation involved the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though subsequent bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 has consistently shown zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has seen multiple 311 service requests, including a 2021 complaint about vaccine mandate non-compliance.

Department of Buildings complaints related to water drainage issues were filed in 2020 and 2022, though inspections found no violations in either case. While past rodent inspections (2009 through 2012) showed generally good conditions with one failure in 2009, more recent inspections have not been documented. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with several issues requiring official complaints or violations to prompt correction, though the most recent years show no significant recurring issues.
