452 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The four-story, 1853 brick building at 452 West 20th Street in Chelsea, currently owned by John Cawdery, has experienced recurring issues with standing water, with the most recent complaints filed in August 2024, including a currently open case of ground puddles that is still in progress with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The building has undergone various safety inspections in recent years, with four tenant safety inspections conducted between April and July 2021 - three resulted in compliance inspections with no violations found, while one noted no violations at the time of inspection.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, filing required reports between 2019 and 2023 showing zero infested units during the reporting periods. The building's rodent monitoring program shows diligence in pest control, with inspections conducted regularly between 2015 and 2024, including six "Passed" results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2015 which prompted bait application procedures.

The property has experienced only one significant maintenance issue, as indicated by the 2023 Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the need to file annual bedbug reports, though this appears to be more of an administrative oversight than a pest control concern given the subsequent zero infestation reports. The building's compliance history suggests proactive management, with timely responses to inspections and violations, and the maintenance of required pest control programs, though the recent issues with standing water warrant attention as the most immediate maintenance concern.
