454 West 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

454 West 58th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1910 and currently owned by Brian Elgart. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns focused on plumbing, including a basin/sink issue in April 2025 and water supply problems in December 2023, both of which required HPD inspections and resulted in violations.

Earlier incidents in January 2022 suggested recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, as three separate complaints were filed within a two-week period, though not all resulted in violations. A notable safety concern occurred in January 2022 when housing maintenance code violations were issued regarding flower pots obstructing egress from fire escapes on the fourth story. The building's maintenance history from 2023-2025 shows attention to various regulatory requirements, including submitting bedbug reports for the 2022-2024 and 2023-2024 periods, which indicated no infestations in any units.

The property has maintained a passing record for rodent inspections since 2010, with the most recent passing inspection in October 2024. There were administrative violations issued in June 2023 related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, though these were subsequently dismissed in September 2023. Additionally, from October 2022 through October 2023, there were multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding adult establishment and illegal hotel room concerns, though most of these complaints were either unsubstantiated or resulted from denied access during inspections.
