152 East 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

152 East 46th Street is a four-unit, four-story residential building in Midtown, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Roshni Ramchandani. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with multiple open violations as of mid-2025, including two active Class C violations from June 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in public areas and Apartment 3F.

There are persistent issues with compliance documentation, as indicated by multiple active DOB violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018-2023. The property has recorded several concerning maintenance patterns, particularly in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by HPD, including issues with pests, an electric/gas range, flooring, and wall conditions.

While inspections were conducted and some complaints resolved without violations, the building's history shows a pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pest management, with open violations from 2021-2024 related to annual bedbug reporting requirements. Although rodent inspection results have generally improved, with recent compliance passes in 2025, there was a concerning initial rat activity report in February 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both routine maintenance compliance and various building systems, as evidenced by the numerous open violations and multiple inspection failures to meet reporting requirements over the past several years.
