417 West 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 5-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement at 417 West 50th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Heder Parra and built in 1901, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent boiler-related situation from October 2023, where a complaint was filed regarding defective/inoperative boiler equipment, leading to an Oath violation and an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $3,125 penalty related to an unregistered Weil Mclain EGH-105 heating boiler.

This issue followed a consistent pattern of boiler registration non-compliance, as evidenced by the simultaneous ECB violation requiring the proper permits and inspection for the boiler system. On a more positive note, the building has maintained an excellent record in terms of pest control and basic hygiene compliance over the past several years.

There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with all annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property has also consistently passed rodent inspections, maintaining a clean record of compliance with all inspections from 2016 through mid-2024. While the building's historical and ongoing achievements in pest and rodent control are commendable, the recent boiler system violations present a significant area of concern regarding the building's mechanical systems and compliance with safety regulations.
