437 West 44th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 437 West 44th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Dominick Rutigliano, has a mixed maintenance record since its construction in 1901. Most notably, in 2024,171-2023, the building demonstrated consistent attention to rodent control, passing multiple inspections throughout 2022-2024, with only one rodent-related complaint in February 2021 that resulted in no violations.
The property experienced a significant heat and hot water outage in November 2019 affecting the entire building, though services were reportedly restored before official inspection. The building faced two important safety-related issues in late 2019, when fire escape access was temporarily obstructed by protruding air conditioning units on both the 4th and 2nd stories, though these violations were subsequently addressed by December 2019.
A vertical crack was identified in February 2021 running from the 4th floor to the roof parapet, resulting in a $1,250 violation penalty. Subsequent inspections from 2022 onwards have shown no bedbug infestations (as confirmed through yearly reporting), and regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since their introduction. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance practices, with all major violations being addressed in a timely manner, though there was one instance of failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation in 2021, which was eventually dismissed.
