318 West 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
318 West 56th Street is a 6-story, 68-unit residential building constructed in 1961 in Hell's Kitchen, currently owned by 320 West 56th Street LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and code compliance issues in recent years, most notably an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding obstructed second means of egress and construction debris, along with multiple other active violations including concerns about an unpermitted retaining wall repair and exterior work without proper permits.
Recent health and safety concerns include a March 2025 sewage odor incident requiring Department of Health intervention, and a 2023 complaint about an illegal iguana pet that remains unresolved. The building has undergone various maintenance challenges between 2021-2022, including multiple water supply and plumbing issues, an entire building heat and hot water complaint, and a series of pest-related concerns with multiple violations issued for rodent and cockroach infestations, particularly affecting apartment 2E. While there were significant habitability issues during this period, including the appearance of pests and heating problems, recent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing without violations.
The building's management has been required to address various infrastructure issues, including window repairs in apartment 7B and multiple work violations, though some building-wide problems persisted through 2022 before being addressed. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases since 2018, and recent rodent inspections have consistently passed. While the property has exhibited recurring maintenance issues over the years, particularly in 2021-2022, recent data from 2023-2024 suggests some improvement in overall conditions, though numerous violations remain active as of the latest inspections.
