505 West 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 10-story, 35-unit residential building at 505 West 19th Street in Chelsea, owned by Julia Penny, was constructed in 2013 and has maintained generally good conditions over its lifetime. The building has passed all recent rodent inspections, with the most recent one in September 2024 showing no issues.

It has also demonstrated effective bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the last two annual filings (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), though there were three consecutive annual violations issued between 2021-2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently corrected. The building experienced one incident requiring HPD intervention in November 2019 concerning water supply issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the complaint.

In early 2021, a significant safety-related re-entry violation was recorded regarding door lock monitoring systems, with a penalty of $1,250 imposed and resolved. More recently, in 2025, there have been two documented service requests related to mobile food vendors (one for food protection and one for smoke/odor), and one from 2020 regarding food worker activity, all of which were properly closed by the Department of Health. The building's management has generally addressed violations and service requests in a timely manner, though the access issue in 2019 and the door lock monitoring violation in 2021 were notable exceptions.
