Is 417 West 44 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.
When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 417 West 44 Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 12 Class C violations, all 12 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.
Does 417 West 44 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for construction. The newest was issued June 3, 2026. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.
Has DOB received complaints about 417 West 44 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 7 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed May 29, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 417 West 44 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Plumbing work, issued March 6, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
Is 417 West 44 Street, Manhattan rent stabilized?
The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year.

This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.
