601 West 57th Street, also known as The Helena, is a 38-story residential building completed in 2003, containing 597 units and managed by The Helena Associates LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with emergency complaints logged in both February 2022 and October 2023 regarding individual apartments, though these were later resolved.
Recent health-related incidents are particularly noteworthy, with two indoor air quality complaints in late 2023 involving chemical vapors/odors, and multiple food establishment complaints in 2024-2025 regarding allergy information and food spoilage. The building has a documented history of pest issues, with pest-related complaints filed in 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, though these were typically closed without gained access for inspection. The property has experienced various infrastructure and safety concerns, including an active 2025 complaint regarding multiple elevator devices, and past issues with self-closing doors in the compactor closets on the 19th and 20th floors (2023 violation) and building shaking/vibrating concerns from 2022.
There were significant maintenance issues documented in 2021 regarding Apartment 31L, including problems with the bell/buzzer system, flooring, mold, and ventilation systems, all of which were subsequently addressed. While the building has maintained an active rodent inspection record with consistent passing results from 2010 through 2024, it experienced a temporary bedbug infestation period in 2018-2019 with reports showing one unit affected (2018) and six units affected (2019), though no further infestations have been reported since. The building's environmental control board has active violations from 2018 and 2022 related to building occupancy and accessibility requirements that warrant attention, and multiple work permits have been issued in recent years for various repairs and maintenance work, with the most recent being for emergency work in July 2024.
