316 West 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

316 West 56th Street is a 32-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1933 in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, when multiple non-emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks, and problems with walls, ceilings, and appliances were reported. Most concerning are several open housing maintenance code violations from August 2024, including pest control issues in apartment 4B (as of October 2025, there were still open violations related to mice infestation), missing safety equipment in apartment 3B, and problems with self-closing doors in various building areas.

The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections since 2010, with all previous inspections passing, though the 2024 inspection shows a relatively recent infestation problem. The building's maintenance history includes various plumbing and water supply issues, with the most recent documented plumbing complaint occurring in February 2022. Previous years show multiple interior maintenance issues, including air quality concerns related to construction dust in 2019.

The property had several Department of Buildings complaints in 2020 regarding safety concerns such as illegal hotel rooms, after-hours work, and sidewalk shed issues, though these were mostly resolved with no violations found at time of inspection. While the building has had open violations related to safety equipment and pest control, it's worth noting that no bedbug infestations have been reported since the data tracking began in 2019. The building's management has demonstrated some compliance with regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the recent passing of rodent inspections and the regular filing of bedbug reports showing no infestations.
