315 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 3-story, 5-unit building at 315 West 46th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Terence Cheng, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, particularly concerning building maintenance and resident comfort. Most recently, in March 2025, there were heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, though housing inspectors were unable to gain access to confirm the conditions.

Prior to this, there were two separate smoking/vaping violations in 2025 and 2024, both occurring in smoke-free areas. The building has maintained a generally good record regarding pest management, as evidenced by three consecutive annual bedbug reports (2020-2024) indicating zero infestations or related issues. While the property previously received bedbug reporting violations in 2022 and 2023 for failing to file the required reports, these issues appear to have been resolved.

The building's rodent inspections show consistent compliance, with all inspections from 2017 through 2024 passing without any violations. A single complaint regarding failure to maintain building conditions was filed in 2019, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their investigation. The property has demonstrated attention to maintenance issues, though the recent heat and hot water complaints suggest some ongoing challenges with building systems.
