The 4-story, 3-unit building at 252 West 14th Street in the West Village, owned by Ezra Mashaal and built in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding building shaking and vibrations, with at least one resulting in an Oath violation. The property has faced recurring rodent issues, with a pattern of mouse and rat sightings reported between 2020 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 showed improvement with a "Passed" result.
Between 2022 and 2023, the building experienced multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pests, resulting in violations, particularly affecting the 4th story apartment 5. The building underwent significant scrutiny in 2019-2021 for multiple safety concerns, including illegal occupancy issues, lack of proper fire safety systems, and inadequate egress, though these are now listed as resolved. Recent inspections have focused on compliance with Local Law 188/17, with multiple active complaints from 2024 indicating ongoing monitoring requirements.
The commercial space on the second floor has received attention for structural issues, with violations issued in September 2024 regarding water damage and cracks. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2024 reporting zero infestations, though there have been multiple rodent-related compliance inspections showing varied results. Most recently, as of March 2025, a rodent inspection has passed, suggesting improved conditions, though earlier inspections in 2024-2024 showed mixed results with reported rat activity.
