401 West 57th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
401 West 57th Street is a 5-story, 29-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen and constructed in 1890, currently owned by Myung Yoon. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with significant problems in plumbing, heating, and building systems. Most notably, there was a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in December 2023, various plumbing issues including water leaks and sink problems in 2024, and concerns about indoor air quality and ventilation.
Apartment 5B has documented safety equipment deficiencies from July 2023, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with a broken bathroom wash basin. The property has several active Environmental Control Board violations related to construction work, including unauthorized removal of partition walls between kitchen and bathroom as of July 2024, and a related lift inspection violation from 2020. While there has been periodic bedbug activity in 2021-2023, recent filings from 2023-2025 show no current infestations.
The building has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing compliance. Two fire safety violations were recorded in July 2024 regarding front entrance door self-closing mechanisms, though these were subsequently closed. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing-related issues, with multiple work orders and violations related to various building systems, though most recent HPD inspections have not resulted in violations being issued.
