368 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

368 West 46th Street is a 6-story, 9-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 368 West 46th Street LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2021-2024, with multiple emergency complaints indicating building-wide and apartment-specific problems, though most complaints were resolved shortly after being reported. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods.

Violation records from 2021 inspections show several maintenance issues including problems with smoke detectors in Apartment 4F, and multiple building-wide violations related to a roof deck, self-closing doors, and fire retardant materials in public areas, though most of these have been closed since their certification dates. The building's infrastructure has shown some concerning patterns, particularly regarding plumbing and rodent inspections. A plumbing issue was reported in late 2022, and more recently in 2024.

Rat activity has been documented in multiple inspections between 2021-2023, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passing. The property has also undergone various routine inspections, including a food establishment inspection in 2022 and recent rodent inspections this year. The building's management appears to have taken steps to address some maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of several violations, though some open violations remain from 2021 related to fire safety and encumbrances in public areas. The building's age and history of infrastructure issues suggest ongoing maintenance attention is required, particularly regarding heating systems and common area upkeep.
