433 West 54th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 433 West 54th Street, owned by John Prignano, has been under regular inspection and reporting requirements since its construction in 1920. The building has experienced some notable plumbing issues, particularly in April 2022 when multiple water supply complaints were logged with HPD, including both emergency and immediate emergency designations, though investigations found no violations.

These plumbing incidents followed a pattern, as similar complaints had been recorded in 2021 as well. The building's violation history shows a 2019 incident requiring the removal of a metal gate obstructing egress from the front balcony on the second story, classified as a Class C violation, and a 2021 violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a strong record concerning pest control, with all recent Bedbug Reporting periods (2021-2024) showing zero infested units or related issues.

Rodent inspections present a mixed history: while the most recent inspections in 2024, 2021, and 2019 passed without issues, records from 2012 and 2011 indicated rat activity that required compliance follow-ups. The only construction-related activity noted in recent years was a permit issued in July 2020 for electrical work (job number 123694341), which suggests maintained attention to building systems. The building's overall record shows regular compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the recurring nature of plumbing issues and the historical rat activity in 2011 and 2012 warrants attention to the building's ongoing maintenance needs.
