144 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
The five-story building at 144 West 46th Street in New York's Theater District, owned by Steven Kashanian, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2023-2024, with multiple emergency complaints documented through the Housing Maintenance Code. Most notably, the fifth-floor apartment (5F) has faced persistent problems with both heat and hot water supply, including violations for excessive hot water temperatures (exceeding 130 degrees) and inadequate heat supply, as well as issues with leaky faucets, mold, and ventilation problems in late 2023.
The building's heating system has required multiple emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between November 2023 and early 2024. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, including a 2024 plumbing issue with the water supply, and earlier concerns such as door/window problems in April 2023 that resulted in violations.
A significant cluster of complaints between November 2023 and December 2024 primarily focused on heat and hot water issues, some of which were not fully investigated due to access issues. The building's history includes past illegal occupancy issues, with a December 2019 violation related to unauthorized use of unit 3R as a massage parlor (Lucky One Spa), though this appears to have been resolved. While the building has maintained compliance in recent bedbug and rodent inspections, having no reported infestations since 2020, the persistent heating system problems remain the most pressing concern as of 2025.
