446 West 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The five-story, 15-unit residential building at 446 West 58th Street, owned by Ray Realty LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage throughout 2023-2024.

In late 2023, the building faced heat and hot water issues affecting the entire structure, along with emergency door-related problems. An illegal conversion case involving apartment 3R was particularly concerning, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023-2024 regarding improper occupancy, missing fire safety systems, and violation of vacate orders, resulting in active Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $7,300. The building's maintenance history shows recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly with the boiler and heating systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in mid-2023.

Recent inspections in 2024 resulted in the building passing rodent inspections, and bedbug reports for the periods from 2020 to 2024 show no infestations. Various Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented and subsequently corrected, including issues in units 2W and 3W related to plumbing, doors, windows, and general maintenance. The building was constructed in 1901 under the Old Law Tenement classification and has undergone various inspections and compliance checks, with most recent evidence suggesting improved but still requires attention to garbage management and other maintenance issues.
