515 West 29Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 11-story, 15-unit building at 515 West 29th Street in Chelsea, owned by Shpresa Nela and constructed in 1926, is currently facing several active violations that require attention. As of July 2025, the property has not filed its FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report and has not submitted its EER for 2021, both of which are mandatory requirements. There is a concerning pattern of past bedbug report violations, with the most recent incident occurring in February 2022 and April 2021, though subsequent filings from December 2023 and March 2023 indicate no reported infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in the 2022-2023 reporting periods.

The building has maintained a generally good record in terms of pest control, passing rodent inspections in 2018, 2019, 2024, and several other years, with the exception of 2011 when rat activity was recorded in two inspections. The building's complaint history shows several issues between 2018-2020, including a 2018 complaint about missing smoking signs on a construction site, and two separate permit-related complaints in 2018 and 2020, all of which were ultimately closed with no violations found upon inspection. While there have been three violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, these seem to have been resolved in subsequent years, with the most recent bedbug reports showing no current infestations.

The property has experienced some administrative compliance issues, including a previously recorded violation for not filing a benchmarking report in 2019, though this was later dismissed following a challenge. The building has an active permit issued in 2020 that remains open, and several permits were approved and issued between 2018 and 2020, including for electrical (EW), plumbing (PL), and alteration (AL) work. The property has a history of maintaining proper documentation and compliance with many building requirements, though the current FISP and EER violations represent the most significant outstanding compliance issues as of 2025.
