405 West 53rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
**Building Overview: 405 West 53rd Street, Hell's Kitchen** 405 West 53rd Street is a 7-story, 83-unit residential building owned by Steven Mann and constructed in 2007. The property has experienced several notable issues over its recent history, with the most persistent concerns revolving around water-related problems and heating systems. Currently, as of May 2025, there is an open complaint with NYC's Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding wall conditions, and there have been recurring sewage-related issues, including a sewage odor complaint in February 2025 and an indoor sewage complaint in May 2025, though no violations were issued in these cases. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2019 concerning the entire building's systems, though inspections conducted during these complaints found no violations or were unable to gain access for inspection.
Additionally, two separate mold-related complaints were filed in October 2023, which were closed without violations. The property underwent construction work in 2020 that generated numerous complaints regarding construction practices and safety compliance, resulting in several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, though most were resolved through subsequent inspections. These included issues with sidewalk sheds, housekeeping, and construction conformity to approved plans. In terms of general building maintenance, the property has passed several rodent inspections between 2014 and 2024, indicating no ongoing pest issues. The building's bedbug report filings from 2019 through 2024 show minimal infestation history, with only two instances (2018-2019 and 2019-2020) noting one and three infested units respectively, though these were recorded as fully eradicated.
The facade of the building has required attention, with a significant ECB violation in 2021 regarding unauthorized removal of safety measures, though this was subsequently resolved. The most recent building inspection (October 2024) resulted in no violations. The property maintains an annual bedbug reporting compliance record showing zero infested units from 2020 to present, suggesting effective pest management practices in recent years. (Note: All dates and durations have been calculated based on available data as of July 2025. The report distills key issues without providing recommendations or subjective assessments.)
