140 West 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 10-story, 35-unit building at 140 West 58th Street, owned by Raul Chino, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Notably, there was a series of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building during the winter months of late 2020 through early 2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2020 and February 2021, though these were eventually resolved. More recently, in October 2022, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, which were also addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building's safety systems have undergone various improvements, particularly in 2019 when violations were issued for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 7B, which were subsequently resolved. Three Annual Bedbug Reports filed between 2023-2025 indicate no current infestations, though there was one infestation recorded in 2020-2021. The property currently has two active Department of Buildings violations as of February 2023 related to FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report filing requirements and adjacent building protections.

Recent maintenance activity includes several permits issued in 2018-2019 for plumbing and exterior work, with the most recent permit issued in May 2024 for plumbing-related work. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing inspections in 2010 and 2011. Violation history shows most previous issues have been resolved, including safety system improvements and various administrative violations related to building signage and registration. The property has demonstrated regular maintenance of bedbug prevention measures, with zero reported infestations in the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2025).
