428 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The four-story, five-unit building at 428 West 20th Street in Chelsea, owned by Robert Gillis, has a long history dating back to 1857. In recent years, the building has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report (July 2025) showing no infested units, following a consistent pattern of zero infestations since at least 2022.
The building's rat activity reports present a mixed picture; while the most recent inspection in November 2024 passed, there was a rat activity finding in October 2024, and historical records show recurring rodent presence in 2015, with several passes in between. The property has experienced multiple construction-related complaints between 2021 and 2023, including a 2023 Construction Safety Compliance violation resulting in a $625 penalty, though most complaints were found to have no violation warranted upon inspection.
Four consecutive bedbug report violations from 2021-2024 suggest initial non-compliance, though all subsequent reports have been properly filed. While there were concerns about safety nets and debris in 2022, inspections determined no violations. The building, described as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," appears to have maintained general compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the pattern of rodent inspections and the brief period of bedbug reporting violations could be noted as areas of attention, while recent reports consistently show improved conditions.
