39 West 55th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

39 West 55th Street is a 10-story, 1913 Class B building located in Midtown and currently owned by Tomer Pomerantz. The property has a significant number of outstanding issues related to regulatory compliance and maintenance. Most notably, there are seven active Department of Buildings violations from 2020 to 2024, primarily concerning failure to file required energy benchmarking reports, missing FISP technical reports, and not displaying energy efficiency scores.

The building has also experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations, with two confirmed infested units in 2023-2024 despite the most recent report indicating no current infestations. In 2018, there was a ventilation-related violation regarding fresh air fans not interlocking with the boiler and hot water heater, though this was resolved with a $1,250 penalty. The property's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections between 2010-2012, all of which passed.

A food establishment complaint was recorded in 2024, which was subsequently closed by the Department of Health. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2024, the pattern of violations related to energy reporting and bedbug management suggests ongoing regulatory oversight challenges. The building's age and architectural class designation, combined with these various compliance issues, paint a picture of a historically maintained but currently challenged property requiring consistent attention to regulatory requirements and resident comfort.
