411 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
The five-story, 20-unit tenement building at 411 West 48th Street, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Moses Berkovics, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced recurring problems with water-related issues, including multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots between 2023 and 2024, along with an October 2024 heat and hot water complaint that could not be verified due to lack of access. The building has also been the subject of multiple housing maintenance code violations, with current open violations from 2024 including unsafe electrical wiring in the cellar and defective self-closing doors in the public hall.
There are significant ongoing concerns regarding unauthorized modifications and occupancy issues. A 2023-2024 violation pertains to an illegal staircase and additional rooms being used for sleeping in apartment 1FW, which also involves questions about improper plumbing fixtures and a bathroom ceiling repair needed in that unit. The building has a history of illegal hotel room complaints, with violations recorded in 2018-2024 periods, though recent inspections have not confirmed these violations.
The property has faced fire escape safety concerns, multiple plumbing issues, and water leak problems. While bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infestations, recent rodent inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity. The building's maintenance record shows some improvements, with several violations being closed or resolved, but significant open violations remain as of 2025.
