306 West 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

306 West 56th Street is a 13-story, 115-unit residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Osman Alihajdaraj. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2022 when there were multiple incidents of power outages and heat/hot water problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. These incidents led to violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced sanitary concerns, with recent complaints in late 2024 regarding garbage/recycling storage and pests, though inspections by HPD and DOHMH found no violations in these cases. While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations (with all recent reports showing zero affected units), there are current open violations in apartment 4J relating to various safety and maintenance issues, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical service problems. The building's elevator system has been a particular area of concern, with violations recorded in 2018 and 2020 regarding safety devices and door lock monitoring, though these were subsequently resolved.

Tenant safety inspections conducted in late 2024 resulted in either no violations or compliance being achieved. The property has generally passed its rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing compliance. Various permits have been issued between 2018 and 2022 for electrical, plumbing, and other maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building infrastructure needs. Recent tenant safety inspections in late 2024 were conducted without any violations being noted, indicating improved compliance with safety regulations.
