545 West 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

545 West 48th Street, a 7-story, 110-unit residential building constructed in 2013 and currently owned by Bernard Gawley, has generally maintained a solid track record since its completion. The building has experienced few significant issues, though there have been some notable incidents, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic period in 2020 when two violations were recorded related to construction activities in violation of Executive Orders, resulting in one $5,000 penalty related to ongoing construction and another regarding the lack of a required construction superintendent on site. These violations were subsequently resolved, and there have been no similar permit violations since.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent issue being a July 2023 electrical complaint that was promptly addressed. Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent October 2024 inspection passing all requirements, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in September 2020. Interestingly, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

The property has also passed multiple rodent inspections since 2018, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building's service history includes a few miscellaneous complaints, such as a 2024 complaint regarding parking lot lights (which was investigated and found with no violations) and the November 2022 cooling tower issue, which was inspected by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no health code violations found. Overall, while the property has experienced some typical urban building issues, particularly during the pandemic period, these have been relatively minor and have been addressed promptly. The consistent lack of bedbug reports and regular compliance with rodent inspections stands out as particularly noteworthy aspects of the building's maintenance record.
