350 West 42nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 60-story residential building at 350 West 42nd Street, owned by Alexandra Bruno, was constructed in 2004 and contains 551 units. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly related to cooking gas systems, with seven complaints filed between May 2023 and February 2024, some classified as emergency situations. There were also multiple complaints regarding the electric/gas range appliances in mid-2023, resulting in code violations for units 9B, 21K, 42H, and 31A, all of which were related to inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures.

More recently, in February 2024, there were complaints about the ventilation system and plumbing in a basin/sink, though no violations were issued in connection with these issues. The building has faced significant regulatory scrutiny regarding potential illegal use as hotel rooms, with multiple complaints between 2023-2025 resulting in at least two Oath violations served in 2024. An active complaint from May 2025 alleges illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone.

A 2024 violation was issued for failure to provide the required Class J fire alarm system for transient use at Apartment 54D, with a $2,500 penalty assessed. The building's maintenance record shows some infrastructure issues, with a 2023 complaint about building-wide heating/hot water problems. However, the property has maintained a positive record in pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024) and consistently passing rodent inspections since 2010.
