West 45th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 7-story, 27-unit building on West 45th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by David Schwartz, was constructed in 2019 and has since experienced a series of construction-related incidents primarily during 2020. The most significant of these were related to construction safety compliance, including a sidewalk shed/scaffold violation in August 2020 and a Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) Action in September 2020, both of which resulted in Oath Violations being served.

There were also complaints about after-hours work, construction beyond approved plans, and COVID-19 executive order violations in late 2020, though inspections found no violations warranting action in these cases. A failure-to-maintain complaint in April 2021 did lead to an Oath violation being served.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with three consecutive annual reports (2024, 2023, and 2023) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, covering the periods from November 2021 through October 2024. The most recent complaint regarding sweep conditions in June 2021 also resulted in no violations being found during inspection. While the building experienced several construction-related issues during its initial occupancy period, recent records indicate improved maintenance and compliance with building regulations, with no recent complaints or violations on record.
