245 East 49th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017
The three-story converted Class A building at 245 East 49th Street, owned by Vandi Minah, has experienced several notable issues and ongoing violations since 2021. Most concerning are the recurring bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024 that remain open, indicating the property has not consistently complied with mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements. The building has also faced significant construction-related safety concerns and penalties, with active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021 through 2024 related to construction fence and protection issues, including three separate violations in 2021 for inadequate roof protection and chimney issues with proposed penalties totaling $107,250.
These violations suggest serious safety concerns during a period of construction work. Recent inspections as of 2025 show some improvement, with the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passing, though there was previously one instance of rat activity noted in 2010. The property has experienced other operational challenges, including multiple Enforcement Work Order complaints in 2025 and numerous sidewalk safety and scaffold-related complaints throughout 2023-2025.
While some complaints resulted in no violations being found, several received Oath Violations. The building's permit history indicates multiple work permits were issued between 2018 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement projects were being undertaken during this period. The current status of these permits and associated work remains unclear, but several related ECB violations from 2022-2024 regarding expired construction permits with penalties totaling $25,000 appear to be unresolved as of 2024.
