436 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The building at 436 West 20th Street in Chelsea is a 4-story, 7-unit residential property built in 1835 and currently owned by Michael Daniel. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2021 when there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water service affecting the entire building. These emergency complaints, spanning from June to October 2021, resulted in various inspections, some showing no violations while others did.
The property currently has multiple open violations from 2023-2024, including an ongoing issue regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, as well as multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to construction work and safety equipment from late 2024. Of particular note is an active ECB violation from December 2024 that cites improper sidewalk shed installation and safety concerns, with associated penalties. Recent health and safety inspections have shown mixed results.
The building passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though a sewage odor complaint in June 2023 resulted in an instruction to the owner to correct the condition. The building's history also shows a pattern of unauthorized work complaints, with multiple "Work Without a Permit" violations recorded in 2023-2024. While earlier bedbug reports (2019-2021) showed no infestations, and the property has generally passed rodent inspections in previous years, the combination of current open violations, recent health complaints, and construction-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's systems have shown periodic problems with heat and water service, though some improvements appear to have been made based on subsequent inspections.
