447 West 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

447 West 18th Street is a 12-story, 46-unit residential building constructed in 2007 in Chelsea, currently owned by Laura Nicoll. The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections in recent years, with three such inspections in 2023, 2022, and 2022, all of which found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has experienced several compliance issues over the years, including a 2018 violation for failure to submit the required 8th round report of critical examination regarding exterior walls, which was resolved with no penalty.

In 2022, there was a violation related to the failure to file an energy benchmarking report, though this was dismissed after confirmation of submission. Two elevator-related violations from January 2020 were resolved by May 2021. The building has maintained an excellent record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2025, as evidenced by annual filings showing zero infested units.

Recent rodent inspections have been more frequent, with multiple bait applications and monitoring visits in 2024 and 2025, though the building passed an initial inspection in October 2024 and a prior one in March 2019. The Department of Buildings has issued necessary permits for building maintenance and compliance purposes, including an exterior wall permit in July 2018. The property's relatively clean record of violations and prompt resolutions, combined with consistent bedbug-free status, suggests effective building management, though the frequency of recent rodent control measures may warrant attention.
