430 West 49th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 10-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 430 West 49th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Silvia Bravo and constructed in 1920, has experienced significant maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water during late 2024 and early 2025, with violations documented in multiple apartments (1W and 5W) for inadequate heat and hot water supply. The building's heating system has generated multiple code violations, including locked access issues documented in December 2024, and an active ECB violation from May 2021 regarding boiler room deficiencies with a penalty of $3,125.

Recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including a power outage in June 2025, problems with indoor air quality due to construction dust (June 2025), and various other electrical issues. The property has also faced challenges with pest control, particularly in late 2024, when inspections showed evidence of rat activity and multiple bait applications were required. Additional maintenance issues include a period of unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions in April 2025, and various electrical problems.

Historical data shows the building has maintained a bedbug-free status across multiple reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. The property has undergone several inspections and complaints regarding its infrastructure, including a building shaking complaint in April 2025 and a work without permit complaint in October 2023. While the building has had periods of compliance with rodent control measures, recent inspections show inconsistent results, with failures noted in 2023 and several bait applications required in 2024.
