454 West 44th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

454 West 44th Street is a 3-story, 2-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Susan Schultz. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 regarding a lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem.

The building has consistently failed to file required bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, receiving four violations between 2021-2024 specifically for not adhering to § HMC reporting requirements, despite subsequent reports showing no infested units during the relevant periods. A gas utility inspection in 2022 also resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access to the property for verification.

The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of results, with three instances of rat activity documented between 2011-2012, but all subsequent inspections from 2017 onward have resulted in passing grades. The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, indicating improved pest control measures. While the building's maintenance record shows some recurring issues with both heating systems and compliance with regulatory reporting requirements, it is worth noting that the actual occurrences of bedbugs during the reporting periods have been consistently documented as zero infestations, and the rodent situation appears to have stabilized based on recent inspections.
