351 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

At 351 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, the 3-story, 10-unit building constructed in 1920 is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Three open complaints from June 2025 involve cooking gas, plumbing (bathtub/shower), and a water leak, with corresponding emergency service requests still awaiting resolution. The building has a significant history of heating and hot water problems, particularly during the latter part of 2024 when multiple violations were issued regarding inadequate heat and hot water across several apartments (4, 6, and 8). Between October and November 2024, violations were documented for inadequate heat and hot water supply, as well as cooking gas issues affecting multiple units.

More recent complaints from May 2025 also reported problems with flooring/stairs, walls, and various aspects of maintenance. The building's maintenance record shows some recurring patterns, including multiple gas supply issues and instances of inadequate heat/hot water service. The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2022-2024), and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven filing periods (2019-2025). Historical complaints show periodic concerns about building vibrations (2019-2020) and an excess of debris (2025), though these were ultimately dismissed upon inspection.

The most recent housing violation inspections in 2024 identified issues requiring attention, including inadequate gas supply to specific apartments and a need for proper notification to tenants regarding service interruptions. One notable citing from November 2024 concerned a locked boiler room door that restricted access to the heating system. The building's recent maintenance history (2024-2025) suggests ongoing challenges with essential services, particularly related to heating, hot water, and gas supply systems, while showing general compliance with pest control requirements. The property has also experienced periodic issues requiring management attention, as evidenced by multiple open and closed complaints, some of which remain unresolved as of mid-2025.
