130 West 44th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 10-story building at 130 West 44th Street, owned by Manhattan Initiative, Inc., has experienced several significant events in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there are multiple active violations issued in September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection, though there are no documented hazards associated with this issue.

The building has maintained an active record of 311 calls related to food establishment inspections, with the most recent complaint in December 2024 regarding food worker illness, following a similar incident in January 2019 involving food poisoning. Housing Maintenance Code violations have been consistently documented between 2021-2024, specifically regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these violations have all been closed with the documentation showing "0" infested units during the corresponding reporting periods. The building has demonstrated good pest control practices, as indicated by completed bedbug reports showing no infestation during the 2018-2022 reporting years, and successful rodent inspections with "Passed" results in 2010, 2012, and 2014.

A complaint regarding a sidewalk shed was investigated and found to have no violations in January 2024. While the property has multiple open violations, particularly regarding inspection filings, these seem to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of safety concerns. The building, constructed in 1905 in the Theater District, has maintained its status as a Class B building throughout its history, though it is important to note that the reported unit count is listed as 0, which may refer to limited or non-residential units in this historic structure.
