409 West 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
The 33-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement at 409 West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1910 and currently owned by John Young, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in late 2024, with three emergency complaints filed between December 15-28, 2024, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. The building's boiler system has been a consistent point of concern, with three active ECB violations as of 2024-06-07 related to failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports and multiple mechanical issues, including a clogged combustion air filter, safety valve problems, and leaking circulating inlet pipe.
These boiler violations carry significant penalties totaling $7,500. The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2022 for defective boiler components and in 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, while three-bed bug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestation issues.
The building has maintained generally good rodent control, passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there was one failed inspection in early 2022 for unspecified reasons. The property has consistently complied with bed bug reporting requirements, showing zero infested or re-infested units in the most recent reports from 2022-2024.
