24 West 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

As of July 2025, 24 West 56th Street, a 5-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1910, is experiencing significant ongoing issues with essential services. In April 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints and violations related to inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced recurring problems with cooking gas, as evidenced by several emergency complaints between April 9-21, 2025. More recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about chemical vapors or odors that required intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The property has documented some regulatory compliance issues, including multiple violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2022-2023, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in April 2024.

Historical records show a rat activity finding during a 2019 rodent inspection, though previous inspections in 2010 and 2011 had passed. Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations, with all nine consecutive bedbug reports from 2019-2024 showing no infested units. The property currently operates under the ownership of Joy Luck Club Realty LLC and has been classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, suggesting it was converted to its current use from a different designation.
