423 West 45th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

423 West 45th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Justin Hollander. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints documented between January and February 2019 affecting the entire building, and one apartment-specific complaint in February 2022.

While some of these incidents reportedly had temporary resolutions, they indicate a persistent maintenance challenge. More recently, the property has faced rodent control challenges, as evidenced by multiple bait applications in 2024 and reports of rat activity in July 2024, though previous inspections throughout 2023 consistently passed. The building's egress system was inspected in March 2022 following a complaint, resulting in no violations found at the time of inspection.

On a positive note, the building has maintained an effective bedbug management record since 2019, with no reported infestations in the last six consecutive annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. The Department of Buildings records show two permits issued in March 2019 for plumbing and electrical work, though no specific details about the nature of these improvements are provided in the available data. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly regarding heat and pest management, while showing relatively satisfactory performance in other areas such as bedbug prevention.
