435 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 4-story, 4-unit building at 435 West 48th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by LLS Number 1 LLC, has experienced several significant events over recent years, warranting attention to both safety and maintenance concerns. Most notably, there are current open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, dating back to 2021-2024.

In 2024, during construction work, multiple serious safety violations were recorded against IDC Construction Corp, including improper temporary stairways, inadequate worker safety measures, and failure to maintain proper site protection for adjacent properties, with associated penalties totaling $28,875. While the building has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2017 through 2024, there have been recent concerns about unsafe conditions, particularly regarding construction activities. The building has experienced recurring issues requiring HPD intervention, including a 2022 complaint about unsanitary garbage storage (which did not result in violations) and a 2019 general complaint about janitorial services that HPD could not investigate.

The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple construction-related complaints and violations in recent years, particularly in 2024, including issues with safety protocols, construction beyond approved plans, and problems with temporary structures. The building's permit history shows regular activity, with multiple permits issued between 2022 and 2025 for various work, though some of these permits were associated with the aforementioned construction violations. The property has maintained a generally good record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all required inspections since 2017, and has documented bedbug reporting showing no infestations from 2018-2019, though recent violations suggest non-compliance with reporting requirements.
