419 West 55th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
The seven-story, 24-unit residential building at 419 West 55th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Moshe Katzensten and constructed in 1911, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in early 2021, there were two heat/hot water emergencies in February, both of which were promptly resolved within a week.
The building faced multiple plumbing and water-related challenges between late 2019 and early 2020, including sink issues, heavy water leak complaints, and ceiling problems, with some violations being documented. More concerning are the building's open violations from 2020 related to safety signage requirements, including gas leak procedures, heating system access information, registration number display, and smoke detector requirements, though regular bedbug reporting since 2022 shows no infestations or re-infestations have been recorded.
The building has maintained good rodent control, passing inspections in 2010, 2011, 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2024, and its recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 also show no signs of these pests, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing as well. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent reports indicate improved conditions, with no major violations or infestations, though the open safety signage violations from 2020 remain noteworthy.
