309 West 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 4-unit, 4-story building at 309 West 50th Street in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1920 and currently owned by Shamsy Baradarian, has experienced several notable occurrences over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2024, there was a food establishment odor complaint investigated by the DOHMH, and in August 2023, indoor air quality ventilation issues were reported and referred to the Department of Environmental Protection.

A significant water leak emergency was reported in July 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building faced a Department of Buildings violation in December 2022 related to a missed technical report filing, though this was dismissed in February 2023. On a positive note, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no incidents reported in the past five years from 2019 through 2024.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, passing in 2024 and 2023, though it did fail one inspection in July 2023 for unspecified reasons. Multiple permits have been issued for work on the property between 2019 and 2021, including electrical and plumbing work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's systems. The property's recent history shows a mix of health and safety concerns primarily related to ventilation and water issues, though many have been addressed through appropriate channels, and the absence of pest infestations is notable for a building of this age.
