323 West 42nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
323 West 42nd Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1920 and currently owned by Amir Shriki. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants in December 2024, November 2024, October 2024, and May 2024, some of which resulted in HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.
Additional maintenance concerns have been documented, including unsanitary conditions with pests (September 2024), and multiple failed inspections in December 2023 regarding various issues including floor conditions, window and door frames, and plumbing problems, for which HPD could not gain access to conduct inspections. The property has faced significant challenges with illegal hotel room allegations, with multiple complaints filed between August 2023 and October 2024, though most inspections resulted in inability to gain access. Two active ECB violations from 2023-2024 are particularly concerning: one for unlawful continuation of work against a stop work order ($25,000 penalty) and another for work done without a permit ($2,530 penalty).
The building has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of December 2023, including issues with mold, water leaks, and various maintenance deficiencies in the public hall areas that require repairs and proper color painting. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections dating back to 2010, the repeated issues with basic services like heat and water, along with significant building code violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The bedbug reporting records from 2020-2024 show no infestations or eradications during these periods.
