425 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 6-story, 56-unit tenement building at 425 West 46th Street, built in 1910 and currently owned by Stacey Shurgin, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in October 2024, with emergency classifications, indicating potential heating system problems. The building has also faced ongoing pest management challenges, particularly in summer 2024, with several unsanitary condition complaints related to pests, though some inspections did not allow for access verification.

Noteworthy safety violations were recorded between 2023-2024, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5D, and several door-related issues such as non-self-closing doors that were addressed through Housing Maintenance Code violations. The property has shown consistent efforts to address inspection findings, with most violations being marked as closed promptly after certification, including those related to garbage storage and door functionality. The building's elevator system experienced a significant issue in 2020, leading to both a complaint and an Environmental Control Board violation regarding fire safety signage and control systems, though this was resolved with a $1,250 penalty.

Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases in recent years. The rodent inspection results have varied, with the most recent July 2024 inspection noting rat activity, though previous inspections had all passed. Regular permits for emergency work have been issued, most recently in 2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by management.
