453 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 14-unit, 5-story building at 453 West 43rd Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Logan Millan and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues over the past decade. Most recently, there are active violations from 2023 regarding failures to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2021 and 2022.

The building has a documented history of heating system issues, with a building-wide heat and hot water complaint filed in December 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. The property has faced multiple compliance challenges, including unauthorized work - notably in 2019 when new gas risers were installed throughout the building without permits, though this violation was ultimately resolved with no penalties.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest management, with annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicating zero infestations during those periods, and most recent inspections showing no current infestations. However, there have been recurring rodent activity concerns, with inspections in mid-2024 showing rat activity, though this was preceded by a compliance inspection showing no violations. Building permits were properly obtained for various maintenance work in 2019, demonstrating efforts to maintain regulatory compliance, though some of this work had initially been performed without permits as noted in earlier complaints.
