Questions about this building
Does 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan had 22 open violations on September 26, 2026: 8 from OATH/ECB and 14 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 4 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 26 Class C violations, all 26 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 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 29, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.
Does 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 20 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 20 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed September 15, 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 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 2 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sprinklers work, was issued January 8, 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.
What is the ENERGY STAR score for 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan?
ENERGY STAR score 38 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.
Is 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered since 2024 (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.
When was 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan built?
The city's record gives 1995 as the year 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.
How many apartments does 459 West 46 Street, Manhattan have?

Where do these numbers come from?
From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. 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.
