123 West 44th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 13-story, 112-unit building at 123 West 44th Street, owned by Metropolitan Times Square Associates Llp, has experienced several significant issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing compliance challenges regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued annually from 2021 through 2024, though recent reports (2023-2024) show zero infested units during the reporting periods. The building has faced multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to building maintenance and safety, including issues with exterior building walls, failure to submit required critical examination reports, and problems with construction safety signage, with penalties totaling $5,625.

Multiple complaints about illegal conversions were filed between 2020 and 2022, though most were found unsubstantiated or resulted in Oath Violation orders. The building has also had issues with timely reporting of energy usage and efficiency scores, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained good rodent control records, passing inspections consistently between 2010 and 2014.

More recent health-related incidents include two Department of Health complaints regarding food safety - one in 2022 related to food poisoning and another in 2023 regarding food worker hygiene - though both were resolved. Building permits issued between 2019 and 2021 indicate ongoing maintenance and repair work, with specific jobs related to electrical and equipment systems being noted. The building's age (constructed in 1894) and location in the Theater District continue to present typical urban property management challenges, with recurring violations primarily related to documentation and reporting requirements rather than immediate safety concerns.
