325 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

325 West 51st Street is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Laura Moss and constructed in 1987 as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2020 and 2025, including an emergency complaint in January 2025 that resulted in inspections and violations being issued. Notable recent violations from January 2024 included inadequate heating in apartment 3C, locked boiler room access issues, and problems with self-closing doors in building vestibules.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record for the past several years, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2021. The building has a significant history of heating system problems, with multiple complaints spanning 2020-2025 showing both apartment-specific and building-wide issues. In 2020, there were several concerning gas-related violations, including unpermitted gas bypass work and inadequate gas supply inspections, resulting in fines totaling over $10,000.

However, these violations were subsequently resolved. The elevator system and cooking gas supply received attention through various complaints in 2020, and the Department of Buildings issued several violations regarding failed certification of immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations in late 2020, though these were ultimately dismissed in mid-2021. Despite the heating system challenges, the building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2016 to 2025, indicating generally effective pest control measures.
