529 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
At 529 West 48th Street in Hell's Kitchen, a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement built in 1901, the most concerning recent issues involve recurring heat and hot water problems. The building has experienced multiple heat/hot water outages in 2023-2024, with several emergency complaints filed in October 2024 and December 2023, some of which were building-wide issues. These repeated heating system failures are particularly significant given their impact on tenant comfort and safety.
The property is currently facing active violations related to its boiler system, with multiple unfiled low-pressure boiler inspection reports from 2018-2023, including a notable active violation from 2024 with a penalty of $3,125. The building's maintenance record shows some persistent infrastructure and safety issues. In 2020, there were multiple violations requiring attention to plumbing, electrical systems, and flooring.
More recently, in October 2024, violations were issued regarding door self-closing mechanisms and security features, though some were subsequently closed. The building experienced a bedbug infestation issue in 2020 (Apartment 12), but recent annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show zero infested units, indicating successful remediation. The property also had several illegal hotel room complaints between 2018-2019, which resulted in violations regarding fire safety systems and egress requirements, though these appear to have been resolved. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with some initial reports of rat activity in 2016 and 2019, but more recent inspections in 2024 and 2019 indicate compliance with rat activity requirements.
