340 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
340 West 48th Street is a 4-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Takeshi Yamaguchi and located in Hell's Kitchen. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple unsanitary conditions reported between 2024 and 2025, particularly regarding pest problems, with inspections often unable to be completed. Significant violations were documented in Apartment 1B in 2024, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leak problems, and mouse infestation concerns, though most violations have been certified as corrected.
The building has a history of plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about water supply and toilet problems in April 2024, and a heavy water leak complaint in June 2024. More recent concerns include structural integrity complaints in late 2023/early 2024, though inspections found no violations at that time. The building's systems have been under scrutiny, with several boiler-related complaints between 2023-2024, though again, inspections found no violations.
An electrical wiring violation was issued in 2022 regarding the use of multiple extension cords and exposed outlets, resulting in an $800 penalty, and there were self-closing door issues identified in 2024. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 to 2024, and while there was rat activity noted in September 2024 and September 2022, recent rodent inspections have passed. The building's permit history shows activity in 2021 for plumbing and exterior work.
