AI summary · updated June 2026

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 412 West 44th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Mark Scharfman, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2022, most notably concerning mold and heating systems. Most recently, in October 2024, a mold complaint was filed and closed without successful inspection by HPD, following a similar mold complaint from July 2023 that was also closed without violations. The building has faced multiple heating and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in late 2022 alone, though one in December 2022 was reportedly resolved during inspection. Additional maintenance concerns have included a heavy water leak and flooring issues reported in February 2022, with no violations found upon inspection.

The building's violation history shows significant attention to mold conditions, with a Class A violation issued in July 2023 concerning approximately 40 square feet of mold at the west wall of the first-story public hall. Other violations from 2022 included requirements to repair fire retardant material and repaint walls in the first-story public hall. The building experienced one bedbug incident in 2022-2023, though recent filings for 2023-2024 show no infestations. A boiler-related violation was recorded in January 2022 regarding boiler room access signage, which was subsequently resolved. Rodent inspections show occasional rat activity, particularly noted in November 2022 and January 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 have passed. While some issues appear to be recurring, notably mold and heating concerns, the property has shown compliance with many housing maintenance code violations when properly documented.
