414 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The four-unit converted New Law tenement at 414 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Terrance Ramkisson, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the pattern of ventilation system complaints, with a general complaint filed in May 2020 that resulted in no access being granted for inspection, though this was marked as non-emergency.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received annual bedbug reporting violations under § HMC, though recent filings from July 2024 and June 2023 indicate no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during the reporting periods. The building's rodent situation has seen significant activity in 2024, with multiple bait applications between September and October 2024, and a failed inspection for "Other Reasons" in July 2024, though a compliance inspection in December 2024 passed.

The property, built in 1910 and currently four stories tall, has had documented improvements with the issuance of multiple permits in early 2019 (specifically on January 9, January 30, and May 6) for electrical and plumbing work under job number 123375739. While the building's history shows attention to pest management and ventilation systems, the pattern of violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. However, the recent successful bedbug report filings and passing rodent compliance inspection may indicate improvements in some areas of building maintenance.
