428 West 49th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 12-unit, 6-story residential building at 428 West 49th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Elmadani Sadek, was constructed in 2003 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been consistent problems with the elevator system, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service in 2020, along with associated environmental control board violations totaling $1,562 for equipment problems including a non-working in-car phone and leveling switch issues.

The building has also faced recurring compliance requirements regarding bedbug reporting, with violations issued from 2021-2024 for failing to file annual reports as mandated under HPD rules, though the most recent 2024 report shows no infested units were found. A notable health concern was documented in September 2019 when an occupant reported mold (unsanitary conditions), though this issue was subsequently resolved by October 2019.

The property has maintained a good record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all ten inspections conducted between 2016 and 2024. While the building has had its share of violations and required corrective actions, most have been resolved, including the 2019 mold issue and the various elevator-related problems from 2020. The building is classified as a "Class A" structure, indicating it is specifically designed for permanent residential occupancy, and is currently active under the 2024 timeframe with no major open violations affecting resident safety or habitability.
