250 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

At 250 West 14th Street in the West Village, a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Ezra Mashaal, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years. Between October 2023 and April 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water outages, with at least eight separate incidents reported to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Most recently, in April 2025, HPD responded to a hot water complaint and found the issue temporarily resolved upon inspection.

The building has undergone several regulatory inspections and corrections, including resolutions to violations related to public hall maintenance and safety procedures identified in 2022, such as ceiling repairs, fire retardant material replacement, and gas leak notification procedures. The property has maintained consistent pest control measures, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024). While there were some rodent activity concerns noted in 2020, subsequent inspections from 2021-2025 showed the building passing all rodent inspections.

The building's service history also includes two food establishment complaints in 2023-2024 regarding odors and pests, which were addressed according to Department of Health records. More recently, there are active complaints regarding an allegedly illegal advertising sign (April 2025) and a past complaint about work without proper permits (December 2024), though inspections found no violations in other areas, such as exhaust systems and adjacent building protections. The building's heating system remains a recurring concern, with multiple emergency service requests and violations reported between 2022 and 2025, including an immediate plumbing emergency related to water supply in February 2023.
