235 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 19-story building at 235 West 46th Street, owned by Aby Rosen and located in the Theater District, has experienced several notable incidents and violations in recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing smoking/vaping violations in June 2025, which prompted intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) due to breaches of smoke-free area regulations.

The building has also faced multiple serious facade-related issues, with an active complaint as of 2023 regarding unsafe conditions requiring compliance tracking, and violations related to the Failure to Submit an EER (Elevator Inspection Report) for multiple years from 2021-2023. The facade inspection process appears to have been problematic, with an "Unsafe" designation initiated in February 2023, and related ECB violations concerning unapproved video displays on the facade. The property has maintained relatively good records in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the annual reports from 2019-2024, though there were violations noted in 2023-2024 regarding failure to file bedbug reports, which were subsequently closed.

Historical data shows consistent compliance passing rates for rodent inspections from 2010-2014. The building has also been subject to various complaints regarding street-level issues, including illegal signage and sidewalk conditions, with the most recent being an active complaint regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway in May 2025. While the building has had multiple food establishment-related complaints (2018-2025), most have been resolved, including issues with food safety practices and foreign objects in food, indicating some challenges with on-site dining facilities.
