331 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The three-story, two-family house at 331 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Maxine Hourizadeh, has experienced several notable events since 2018. Most concerning were two significant Department of Buildings violations in 2019 related to elevator safety and building inspections, involving a failure to perform a required Category 5 inspection and a failure to file the previous year's mandatory elevator inspection/test results; however, both violations were officially dismissed in August 2023, indicating resolution of these compliance issues.

The property registered a food poisoning complaint with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2018, though no follow-up action beyond standard procedure is indicated in the records. In more recent developments, the building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations during the 2023-2024 reporting period.

The bedbug report from December 2024 confirms zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no cases of re-infestation, suggesting effective monitoring and pest control measures are in place. While the building's history includes some serious safety compliance issues from 2019, the dismissal of these violations and the current absence of any active complaints or infestations as of 2025 indicates improved recent conditions, though potential tenants should note the property is classified as a two-family house built in 1920 in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.
