530 West 50th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Louis Bisso. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns emerging in 2025, including multiple HPD violations relating to water leaks, unsanitary conditions (including pests and mold), and problems with various building systems including flooring/stairs, doors/windows, and walls. The building has an active open violation from August 2024 regarding encumbrances in the fifth-story public hall, along with another from the same period concerning defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead.

Apartment 4B has had documented issues with rodent infestations, electrical problems, and interior maintenance needs, though recent inspections in October 2024 show the apartment passed rodent inspection. The building's history includes several electrical wiring and safety concerns, with inspections and violations recorded between 2018-2019 showing issues such as unapproved electrical equipment and hanging defective light fixtures. There were also multiple documented rodent baiting operations between 2018-2019, though recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions.

The property has received regular 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, most recently including both non-emergency and emergency reports in 2025 about water leaks and pest issues. While many of these complaints have been closed, they typically resulted in violations that required correction by the property owner. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, structural elements, and pest control, though some recent improvements are noted, particularly regarding rodent control compliance.
