533 West 49th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
At 533 West 49th Street, a 20-unit, 5-story tenement building built in 1901 in Hell's Kitchen, the most pressing current issues revolve around recurrent heating system problems. Between October 2024 and March 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water outages, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints have generally been addressed by HPD, with some incidents being confirmed as resolved during inspections, though violations were issued for systems requiring attention.
The building has also experienced various maintenance challenges in 2024, including plumbing issues (with both sink and radiator problems reported), window frame concerns, and water leak problems. A notable pattern of violations emerged in early 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 1FE, which required repairs to windows, heat systems, and plumbing fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows an ongoing need for attention to basic systems.
In 2024, violations were documented regarding self-closing doors in the boiler room and gas meter room, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Historical data indicates some past issues with pest control, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 passed without incident. An illegal hotel room complaint from 2018 was recorded but was unable to be verified. While there have been no recent bedbug or significant pest issues reported since 2019, the repeated heating system problems in 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
