453 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 5-story, 8-unit residential building at 453 West 22nd Street in Chelsea, owned by Christopher Soriano, has a mixed maintenance history since 2019. Most notably, in July 2022, there were multiple water-related complaints involving damp spots, slow leaks, and ventilation system issues, with some resulting in violations. The building experienced significant moisture-related problems affecting the duplex apartment, including visible mold conditions and ventilation system defects, which were cited in violations during inspections.

Earlier issues included electric wiring concerns in June 2021 and a reported mold problem in February 2021. The property has maintained an active compliance record, with recent violations addressed as of 2024, including requirements for sprinkler system testing equipment and bedbug reporting compliance. The building's infrastructure has undergone regular maintenance and inspections, with all bedbug reporting periods since 2020 showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. There have been two notable complaints regarding potential illegal modifications: one in 2019 concerning a bathroom exhaust system and another in 2021 related to illegal conversion, though these were ultimately addressed through standard regulatory processes. The property has maintained proper permitting procedures, with multiple plumbing and exhaust-related permits issued between 2019 and 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance with building codes.
