240 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

240 West 14th Street is a 5-story, 7-unit residential building in the West Village, owned by Joel Radmin and dating back to 1910. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a series of complaints and violations related to construction activities between 2023-2025. These include multiple complaints about work without proper permits, an illegal conversion complaint, and concerning tenant safety issues that led to stop work orders in August 2023.

The building underwent renovation work that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations in August 2023, primarily centered around inadequate tenant protection plans and improper firestopping, for which penalties totaling $6,000 were imposed. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest management, with annual bedbug reports since 2020 indicating no infestations or eradication efforts required. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted annually from 2016 through 2025, always resulting in passing grades.

While there was a food poisoning complaint in 2019 (though it was resolved within days), and several violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2022-2023, these issues appear to have been addressed promptly. The most recent bedbug reporting for 2023-2024 indicates no affected units, and the most recent rodent inspection from March 2025 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting the building is currently meeting basic health and safety standards. The property has also maintained compliance with COVID-19 regulations during 2021, though there were multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access when investigating complaints.
