362 West 53rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

This 7-story, 9-unit building located at 362 West 53rd Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Richard Kramisen, has been standing since 1951. The property has experienced recurring food establishment issues over the past seven years, with multiple complaints including food poisoning incidents in 2021 and 2018, pesticide-related concerns in 2024, and a recent food contamination incident in early 2025.

Housing maintenance records show a window frame issue reported and addressed in 2023, while the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since at least 2017, passing all ten inspections conducted between 2017 and 2024. Notably, the building had three separate violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2022 and 2024, though the most recent 2025 bedbug report indicated no infested units or recent eradications.

The building's safety infrastructure received attention in 2020 when a complaint regarding the elevator system was filed, leading to an Oath Violation being served. Despite the various health department interventions and housing violations, the property has shown consistent compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections and maintaining a bedbug-free status in recent reports. While the building has experienced multiple food safety incidents over the years, particularly in recent years, these appear to be primarily related to commercial food service establishments rather than residential units.
