41 West 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The five-story, seven-unit building at 41 West 46th Street in Midtown, owned by Frank Pecora and built in 1920, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 affecting the entire building. This follows a pattern of similar complaints throughout 2018-2019, suggesting ongoing concerns with the building's heating system.

The building underwent unauthorized construction work in 2020, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $13,750 in penalties, though these have since been resolved. These violations included continuing work during a stop-work order and modifications to multiple apartment bathrooms without permits, including fixture relocation and partition modifications in apartments 2A, 3A, and 5B. Recent inspections and filings indicate that the building has maintained proper pest control measures, with no bedbug or rodent infestations reported in the past three years.

The most recent Tenant Safety Inspection in March 2023 found no violations, and the building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units since 2020. While several housing maintenance code violations were recorded between 2018 and 2020, including issues with door security, fire escape safety, and heating systems, most have been resolved or dismissed. The building's heating system remains the most persistent maintenance issue, with multiple complaints and violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply documented over several years, culminating in the most recent complaint in January 2025.
