349 West 45th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
349 West 45th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ethan Rozenblatt. The property has experienced recurring issues with door and window functionality, evidenced by multiple complaints in both 2023 and 2024 regarding door problems at the building's main entrance and vestibule, though no violations were issued in initial inspections. More concerning are the building's sanitation issues, including a significant garbage storage violation documented in May 2024, for which the building was cited under § 27-2021 of the Administrative Code regarding inadequate waste receptacles.
The property has also faced challenges with rodent control, with several inspections between 2023 and 2025 revealing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without further reported issues. The building's safety features have been under scrutiny, particularly regarding fire escape access and door functionality. Violations noted in 2023 included obstructions on fire escapes and devices preventing self-closing doors at the main entrance.
While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with all filings showing zero infested units, there were concerns about illegal hotel room activity in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to investigate the complaints. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown improvement, with the most recent inspection passing without issues. The property has a mix of historical and recent maintenance challenges, with specific attention needed on door security, waste management, and maintaining building safety standards.
