402 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The building at 402 West 46th Street in Hell's Kitchen is a five-story, 11-unit residential property built in 1929, currently owned by Eric Goodman. The building has experienced recurring heating issues throughout 2024, with multiple HPD complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, particularly in January 2024 when violations were issued for inadequate heat and hot water in both individual apartments and the entire building. Additional significant concerns include active violations as of 2023-2024 regarding lead paint hazards, roof leaks, and fire safety systems that require attention.

The property faced substantial regulatory scrutiny in 2018 for various safety and occupancy issues, including problems with fire alarm systems and emergency egress requirements, though these violations were subsequently resolved. More recently, there have been documented issues with building maintenance, including multiple HPD complaints in 2024 requiring attention to paint and plaster conditions. The building's recent history shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing maintenance challenges.

While there have been consistent rodent control efforts throughout 2023, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing rat activity, the building has maintained a 0 infestation rate for bedbugs according to all recent filings from 2019 through 2024. The property has also shown some regulatory non-compliance regarding external low-pressure inspections, with active violations issued in 2023 for failure to file the required documentation. A notable safety incident in October 2023 prompted inspections of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though no violations were recorded. The building's recent history indicates ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding heating systems and building safety features, while maintaining generally good results in pest control inspections and bedbug management programs.
