324 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

324 West 43rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Bruce Haley. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in late 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating and hot water systems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues were documented through multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, all of which were ultimately resolved.

Additional maintenance concerns from this period included problems with cooking gas, electrical wiring, and plumbing fixtures, though no violations were issued following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More recent history shows improved conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, as indicated by the building's consistent bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024. The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 resulted in a passing grade, continuing a pattern of successful rodent control demonstrated by passed inspections dating back to 2010.

The building has experienced several safety-related violations since 2020, including issues with self-closing doors and fire escape access, though all have since been resolved. Notable violations from 2021 included a lack of proper fire safety signage and gas leak procedures posted in common areas, though these were also addressed. The most recent HPD inspection in March 2023 noted a violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing, which should be brought to management's attention for clarification. While a Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal after-hours work was filed in October 2022, the investigation found no violations at the time of inspection.
