346 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

346 West 48th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by 346 West 48th Street LLC. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past decade, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passing, and several inspections showing rat activity between 2020-2021.

While rodent problems appeared to be somewhat contained in recent years with the building passing inspections (except for occasional bait application requirements), the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene received multiple complaints about rat sightings in 2021. The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2025, with no reported infestations or eradications during this period, suggesting effective pest management practices. The property has undergone several permitted improvements between late 2019 and mid-2020, including both electrical and plumbing work (Job Number 123717086), though specific details of these improvements were not provided in the records.

An important housing maintenance violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as evidenced by subsequent filings showing proper compliance. While the building has had its share of challenges with both rodents and the occasional violation notice, the recent history suggests improved pest management, with no significant safety violations or complaints on record in the most recent years. The property's historical records indicate regular habitation and maintenance practices typical of a vintage New York City tenement building, with particular attention to pest control requirements as mandated by housing regulations.
