16 West 40th Street, Manhattan, NY 10018

The 33-story, 57-unit residential building at 16 West 40th Street, constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Tatiana Nizguretsky, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past three years. Most recently, in mid-2025, there was a food poisoning incident that the Health Department deemed isolated, and prior to that, in 2024, concerns were raised about the building's drinking water tank.

The property has had multiple plumbing-related complaints and violations, particularly affecting apartment 22A as of June 2023, including issues with the bathroom's east wall, basin sink, and water closet. Several building systems have required attention, including ventilation and sewage systems, with various violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building's history includes regular inspections showing no bedbug infestations since 2022, and there have been multiple rodent inspections since 2010 that passed.

While the building experienced numerous construction-related complaints during its initial period of operation between 2018-2021, including safety violations and work permit issues, most of these were resolved or dismissed. The Department of Buildings performed tenant safety inspections in 2023 with no violations noted, though there were instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to certain areas. Most recently issued permits, spanning from 2021 through 2024, indicate ongoing maintenance and repair work, including plumbing and exterior work.
