350 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 10-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 350 West 48th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Christiano Lachanas, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in June 2024, the building received violations for unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, specifically roaches in Apartment 2W, along with multiple safety-related citations regarding door closure mechanisms and missing safety notices. These violations, while officially closed, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, including a slow leak complaint in 2019 that was not inspected, and historical rodent problems evidenced by a 2024 complaint that resulted in violations. A significant facade modification carried out under Permit #120333807 in 2018-2014 generated an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding failure to file a final inspection, resulting in an $800 penalty. While the building has experienced various pest and maintenance issues, it's worth noting that regular rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025 have consistently yielded passed results, suggesting effective management of rodent control efforts.

The building's bedbug reporting over the past five years shows minimal infestation history, with only one documented instance in 2019 that was resolved. Emergency safety concerns appear to be managed appropriately, as evidenced by the 2023 inspection regarding building shaking which resulted in no violations being warranted. Recent inspections in 2023-2025 for various maintenance issues have generally resulted in either passing grades or subsequently closed violations, indicating some level of responsiveness to maintenance concerns, though the recurring nature of certain violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep in this 1920's-era structure.
