413 West 52nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

413 West 52nd Street is a five-story, 10-unit pre-war tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen and owned by Marvin Davis. The building, constructed in 1910, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly evident in August 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding various problems including water leaks, ventilation system issues, unsanitary conditions (including mold), and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system. More recently, in June 2025, there are four open housing maintenance code complaints related to plumbing (basin/sink and bathtub/shower) and window frame issues.

The building experienced significant heating system problems in late 2019, with complaints about inadequate heat/hot water affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. The building has undergone several inspections and faced multiple code violations over the years. In 2019, there were serious boiler-related violations with a total of nine Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued regarding low water cut-off and backflow preventer issues, though these were later resolved.

The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 to present, showing zero infested units in the past five reporting periods. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with only one initial inspection in February 2022 resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons." The building's history includes various repairs and maintenance issues being addressed, such as door/lock repairs, smoke detector installation, and the removal of illegal fastenings. While most past violations have been resolved, the presence of currently open complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
