337 West 55th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
The 14-unit, 3-story building at 337 West 55th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Foster Lowe and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring issues and some construction-related incidents over the past several years. Most notably, the building has maintained an open violation status regarding overdue bedbug report filings under the Housing Maintenance Code from 2021 through 2024, indicating noncompliance with HPD requirements.
In 2023, there was a temporary construction-related incident that resulted in a Stop Work Order (SWO), though this was subsequently rescinded by May 2023. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2011 and 2024, demonstrating good pest control practices. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show a pattern of compliance inspections over the years, with most complaints resulting in "No Violation Warranted" findings.
There was one instance in 2020 when an inspector was unable to gain access for a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection. Recent permit activity includes multiple permits issued in 2023-2024 for various work types, including plumbing and alteration work. While the building has had recurring administrative issues with bedbug report compliance, the overall pattern of inspections suggests regular monitoring and maintenance of safety standards, with the most significant recent event being the temporary construction-related work stoppage in 2023 that was quickly resolved.
