348 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

348 West 48th Street, a 5-story Old Law Tenement building in Hell's Kitchen owned by Jorge Cardona, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in December 2024, there was an indoor air quality complaint related to ventilation that resulted in a DOHMH notification to the property owner. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent five inspections in 2022-2025 all passing.

However, there were three instances of rat activity noted in 2021, indicating a temporary infestation issue that appears to have been resolved through subsequent management actions. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past three years (2022-2025), with all annual reports showing zero infested units. The building has a documented history of addressing regulatory requirements, including a Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 regarding the filing of an annual bedbug report, which appears to have been resolved.

A notable ECB violation from 2018 concerned non-compliance with a prior order, resulting in a $625 penalty, though this is now marked as resolved with no balance due. The property's recent maintenance history shows consistent compliance with rodent control measures, with all inspections since 2022 passing without incident. While there have been some maintenance challenges in the past, particularly in 2021, the building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years.
