455 West 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

455 West 21st Street is a four-unit, four-story residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1854 and currently owned by 455 W 21st St LLC. The property has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past five years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water complaint in March 2020, which was classified as an emergency but could not be investigated due to lack of access to units.

Prior to this, in September 2018, there was a building stability complaint regarding shaking or vibrating, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five years (2020-2025), with zero reported cases or required eradications in the annual inspections. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, passing most consistently between 2010 and 2019, with only one failure recorded in November 2016 for unspecified reasons.

Since 2020, the building has passed all rodent inspections, including the most recent one in October 2024. While the building is relatively older being built in the mid-19th century, it has generally shown a good record of pest management and stability, though the isolated incidents of heating system issues and the inability to verify conditions during the 2020 complaint warrant some attention. The bedbug and rodent management records suggest proactive maintenance in these areas, with no recent infestations or violations.
