18 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

18 West 14th Street is a 6-story, 83-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Dino Velaj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2024, with two complaints filed in March 2024 that resulted in emergency complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises for verification.

Other notable maintenance issues include ceiling plaster problems documented in July 2023 (which did not warrant any violations upon inspection) and food-related incidents in 2023, including a food poisoning complaint and a 2019 kitchen inspection that resulted in a warning letter. The building has undergone multiple Department of Buildings inspections and received three "Work Without a Permit" complaints between 2021-2025, though two were found with "No Violation Warranted" and one was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The property has maintained a relatively clean record concerning pests, with bedbug inspections from 2019-2024 consistently showing zero infected units, though there was one instance of two infested units in 2019 that were promptly addressed.

Rodent control has been actively managed, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing, following multiple baiting interventions in mid-2023. The building has had several issued permits for various maintenance work between 2018 and 2023, including plumbing and exterior work, with the most recent permit issued in November 2023. Historical violations from 2018-2019 regarding annual boiler inspection and FISP Cycle 8B technical reports were resolved, and the building has passed its tenant safety inspection in February 2023.
