355 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
The 6-story, 40-unit building at 355 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Ron Cherney and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, including a building-wide outage in November 2024, and various plumbing issues affecting multiple units, such as radiator problems in 2022 and bathtub/shower issues in 2023.
The building has also faced challenges with rodent infestation, as evidenced by multiple rat sightings and inspection results between 2024-2025, though recent compliance inspections in May 2025 showed improvement. Other notable concerns include unsanitary conditions related to mold and pigeon waste, various paint/plaster issues, and water leaks documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.
The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations, including an active violation for failure to perform a Category 5 inspection from 2019 and a bedbug reporting violation in 2024, though subsequent bedbug reports have shown no infested units. The Department of Buildings records show consistent monitoring and baiting efforts for rodent activity in 2025, and several permits have been issued for plumbing-related work between 2018-2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and repairs to address the building's various infrastructure challenges. While many complaints have been resolved, with no violations issued in several recent HPD inspections, the building's history shows persistent maintenance issues that require regular monitoring.
