417 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
The 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building at 417 West 43rd Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Mark Scharfman and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. The most recent issues as of mid-2025 include electrical problems and lighting outages (May 2025), ceiling maintenance concerns, and ongoing rodent activity with multiple bait applications throughout 2025. Previous significant events include a heavy water leak (January 2025), multiple pest-related complaints (2024), and intermittent heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building (March 2023).
The building's exterior and common areas have faced various violations, including temporary violations in 2024 for refuse accumulation at both front entrances and obstructed fire escape egress. Notably, in 2020, there were several serious violations related to illegal hotel operations, including improper use of a permanent dwelling and inadequate fire safety systems, which resulted in penalties but have since been resolved. The property has undergone several health and safety inspections in recent years, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing both bait application and rat activity.
Bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no documented infestations. The building's maintenance history also includes a significant boiler-related complaint in 2022. Multiple housing violations have been issued and closed over the years, including issues with self-closing doors, fire escape access, and various maintenance concerns. The property management has generally responded to violations, with many being certified as corrected, though some recent electrical and lighting issues from May 2025 are still pending resolution according to HPD records.
