418 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 418 West 20th Street in Chelsea, owned by Domov LLC, has a mixed maintenance and construction history since its 1840 inception. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, particularly during 2021, with multiple complaints documented between April and July of that year, though most inspections subsequently passed without violations.

In recent years (2022-2025), the building has maintained an open violation status related to annual bedbug report filings for three consecutive years (2022-2024), indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building underwent significant construction activity between late 2022 and 2023, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations recorded. These included issues with construction safety compliance, inadequate egress, and failure to provide required safety documentation.

Notably, several stop work orders were issued in November 2022 due to unsafe conditions, though these were subsequently rescinded. More recent complaints in 2023 addressed issues with sidewalk sheds and construction safety compliance, resulting in Oath violations. The property has maintained active compliance with rodent inspections since 2015, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing without issues, and has consistently obtained necessary permits for various works between 2019 and 2025, with the latest permits issued in June 2025.
