424 West 45th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The four-story, six-unit tenement at 424 West 45th Street in Hell's Kitchen has been owned by Richard Fitzgerald since its construction in 1920. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with all nine annual reports filed between 2019 and 2024 showing zero cases of infestation or eradication.

While there have been two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting in 2022 and 2023, these appear to be administrative oversights that were resolved, as subsequent reports have been submitted properly. Most recently, a Department of Buildings violation was issued in April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection, though this violation was dismissed in May 2023. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing consistent compliance - all eight inspections conducted between April 2022 and July 2025 have passed.

This suggests effective pest management practices in place. The building's overall maintenance record indicates prompt resolution of violations when they occur, and the recent bedbug reports show successful management of this particular issue over the past year. The absence of additional violations or reported issues since 2023 suggests improved compliance with housing regulations, though the dismissed DOB violation for low-pressure inspection filing in 2023 indicates occasional administrative lapses in record keeping.
