336 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

336 West 46th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Ref 46 Street, LLC, with an active building class of "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A." The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably with persistent water temperature violations, as evidenced by open Class C violations from October 2024 in both Apartment 2F and Apartment 4R, where hot water exceeds the maximum allowed temperature of 130 degrees. There are also ongoing building safety concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2023 regarding an obstructed emergency exit passageway door, with a substantial penalty of $6,250 imposed.

Historical records indicate significant past compliance issues, including a period of illegal occupancy as transient use in 2018, when multiple violations were issued regarding safety systems, egress requirements, and lead paint hazards, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in July 2025 resulting in a "Passed" rating, and shows consistent reporting of bedbug activity with no infestations reported in the past two years (2023-2024).

Recent inspections have also revealed various maintenance needs, including a 2023 complaint regarding locked/blocked egress that resulted in an Oath violation. The property has active violations for failure to file required boiler and pressure inspection reports for 2017-2022, indicating potential maintenance oversight. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections and maintains updated bedbug reporting compliance, the pattern of water temperature violations and safety concerns related to egress and emergency systems represent ongoing challenges for the property.
