532 West 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019
The five-story, 20-unit tenement building at 532 West 50th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Richard Bisso, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and pest management. Most notably, the building has had multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2023, specifically affecting the entire building, along with radiator issues that required emergency responses.
The property has also faced persistent rodent challenges, with a series of inspections between 2019 and 2024 showing fluctuating results between "Passed" and "Rat Activity" or "Signs of Rodents." An inspection in October 2024 finally showed a "Passed" result for rodent conditions. The building currently has multiple open class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which represents a significant regulatory compliance issue.
Historical records from 2018 showed complaints regarding doors/windows and unsanitary conditions related to pests, though these did not result in violations. The building's age (built in 1915) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with typical maintenance challenges faced by similar properties in New York City. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, the recurring nature of heating system issues and pest management concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
