220 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 6-story, 17-unit residential building at 220 West 14th Street in the West Village, owned by 220 West Investors LLC, has experienced several notable issues since 2019 that may impact resident comfort and safety. Most recently, in May 2024, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage that required HPD intervention, though tenants reported restoration of services. The building has a concerning history of heating system problems, with a similar emergency complaint in December 2019 affecting one apartment.

There are also two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections, and a work without permit complaint from May 2025 that was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Plumbing issues have been part of the building's record, with a violation in 2018 leading to a stop work order. The building has shown mixed results in rodent inspections, failing in April 2024 and June 2021, though most recent inspections in March 2025 and June 2024 passed.

There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since consistent monitoring began in 2021, with all required reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property also had an illegal hotel room complaint in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access. The building's permit history shows multiple plumbing and electrical work permits issued in 2019-2020, with 2020-21 marks suggesting some oversight issues that were subsequently addressed.
