450 West 49th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

450 West 49th Street is a four-story, eight-unit old law tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Sant Batmaz and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several significant issues, most notably a fire that caused structural damage, as documented in June 2025 violations.

The property has ongoing safety concerns, with multiple open violations related to building maintenance and safety systems, including the need to file annual bedbug reports since 2022, and various repairs needed in Apartment 2, such as floor repairs, security issues, and carbon monoxide detector installation requirements. Recent inspections in 2025 revealed serious concerns including building shaking/vibrating issues, potential falling debris, and blocked egress, leading to a partial vacate order. While there have been rodent concerns in the past, the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 showed compliance with rodent control requirements.

The building's history shows a pattern of emergency complaints in September 2021 regarding water leaks, sewage, and fire escape safety, though these were closed without violations. The property has maintained a generally consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2018, with the exception of a rat activity report in March 2023. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open, including issues with concrete ornamentation, plumbing fixtures, and security systems, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident safety and comfort.
