514 West 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
514 West 50th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Jay Cohen and classified as an Old Law Tenement in Hell's Kitchen. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a recent pest infestation reported in January 2024, which was subsequently resolved but indicates potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple complaints related to window frames, window panes, and wall conditions, with some resulting in Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartment 1FE. Notable violations included broken window frames, defective locks at vestibule doors, and issues with paint conditions that were officially certified as corrected between September 2024 and September 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic health and safety requirements, with multiple successful rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management.
The property underwent emergency repairs and inspections related to window issues in 2022, and several non-emergency violations were addressed, including the removal of flower pots obstructing fire escape egress. While there were two complaints about illegal conversions in 2022 and a report of building shaking, inspections found no violations at those times. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations from 2019 to 2024, showing no reported cases, and the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 was passed, indicating some level of ongoing building maintenance compliance.
