514 West 24Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 14-unit, 10-story residential building at 514 West 24th Street in Chelsea, owned by Jenelle Lenis and completed in 2016, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems. Most recently, in spring 2024, there were three consecutive heat/hot water emergencies affecting the entire building between late March and early April, though these were subsequently resolved according to HPD records.

The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2020, with no reported infestations, and passed rodent inspections in 2024, 2019, and throughout previous years going back to 2010, indicating generally good pest control conditions. The Department of Buildings (DOB) and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) records show various complaints and violations from 2018-2022, including issues with benchmarking reports not being filed (2019-2022), several complaints regarding illegal activity, and a stop-work order that was fully rescinded (2018).

During construction and initial occupancy periods, there were complaints about site conditions endangering workers (2018) and after-hours work (2019), though inspections found no violations at the time. The building experienced multiple emergency heating system issues in early 2024 that required intervention before being resolved. While the building has had several regulatory violations regarding reporting requirements, including FISP technical reports and energy benchmarking, most of these were eventually dismissed or resolved, with the most recent permit-related activity showing proper maintenance of paperwork through 2022-2023.
