519 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 12-story, 11-unit residential building at 519 West 23rd Street in Chelsea, owned by Kosha Diaz and constructed in 2005, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an active complaint from February 2022 regarding unsafe façade conditions (LL11/98), and multiple violations from 2023 for failing to file external low pressure inspections for both 2019 and 2020.

The building's elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with a 2021 violation resulting in a $1,250 penalty for non-compliance with door restrictor functionality and elevator brake testing requirements, though this violation was subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a good record in terms of pest control, with no reported instances of bed bugs in the past five annual reporting periods (2017-2024), and it has consistently passed rodent inspections, most recently in September 2024, indicating effective building management in these areas.

While some historical violations from 2019 and earlier existed regarding boiler inspection filings, these were either resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects. The building's recent safety and maintenance record shows ongoing concerns primarily related to inspection compliance rather than immediate safety issues, with multiple active violations for failure to file required inspection reports between 2019 and 2020, including boiler and external low pressure inspections.
