446 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The three-story, three-unit building at 446 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by John Lombardi, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years, with open violations noted in 2023 and 2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. While the building's official bedbug filings from 2019-2021 showed no infested units during those periods, the consistent violations suggest ongoing oversight challenges.

The property has also faced some significant construction-related issues, most notably a Partial Stop Work Order issued in October 2022 related to construction work at the rear of the building, though records show this was subsequently completed 100%. A gas utility referral complaint from April 2022 was investigated and found to lack supporting evidence at inspection time. The building's environmental health record shows fluctuating conditions in recent years.

While rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 reported passing results, there were documented instances of rat activity in mid-2022. However, prior to this period, the property consistently passed rodent inspections from 2017 to 2021. The building's permit history from October 2021 indicates at least some recent construction activity, with two permits issued under job number 123572204 for exterior work (EW) during 2021-2022, though the specific nature and scope of this work are not detailed in the available records.
