319 West 54th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

319 West 54th Street is a 5-story, 39-unit residential building constructed in 1980 and currently owned by Andrew Ku. The building experienced a series of heat and hot water-related issues in January 2019, with three separate emergency complaints filed within a two-week period, though these were subsequently resolved and closed by the Housing Preservation and Development Department (HPD). The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections showing compliant results from 2010 through the most recent inspection in October 2024.

The property has demonstrated good bedbug management practices, with no reported infestations in the past four annual reporting periods (2021-2024), and only one documented case in 2018 which was promptly resolved. Several maintenance and compliance issues have been documented, including an open violation from 2019 related to self-closing doors at the entrance to Basement Apartment C, and a 2021 violation concerning the annual bedbug report filing. The building's elevator system experienced issues in 2020, though this was resolved with an Oath Violation.

Environmental Control Board violations were recorded in 2018 related to boiler maintenance, resulting in a $625 penalty, and in 2020 for elevator alarm issues, though both were subsequently resolved. Multiple permits for construction or maintenance work have been issued in recent years, with the most recent issued in June 2023. The building's systems and property management have shown responsiveness to most issues, with regular maintenance and inspections being conducted as required by city regulations.
