446 West 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

446 West 19th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1885 and currently owned by Wayne Williams. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues over recent years, with three separate water leak complaints in 2024 (two heavy flow and one slow leak) and one heavy flow leak in February 2024.

There have also been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including a building-wide issue in December 2023 and an apartment-specific problem in November 2019, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in all cases. The building has faced pest-related challenges, with complaints about unsanitary conditions in 2019 (including rodent sightings and pest issues) and a cluster of violations in 2018 involving mice, roaches, and damaged sheetrock in Apartment 2A. While recent records show no current infestations, bedbug reports from 2022 to 2025 indicate minimal activity, with only one unit recorded as requiring eradication in 2021.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, with all complaints marked as closed, though access for inspections has sometimes been a barrier to resolution verification. Most notably, there were two "Emergency" category water leak complaints in August 2024, though both were closed due to inspection access issues. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024, indicating generally effective pest management.
