451 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The five-story, eight-unit building at 451 West 22nd Street in Chelsea, owned by William Harra and dating back to 1854, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in 2025, there was a complaint about indoor air quality related to construction dust, which resulted in an advisory to the property management.

During August 2020, multiple sanitation-related complaints were filed, including sewage issues and water leaks, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2020, with no reported infestations or eradications in any unit across multiple annual reporting periods through 2024.

The property has undergone various improvements and addressed several violations, including a notable set of repairs in 2006 related to apartment 4F, where issues with window sashes, ceramic tiles, and bathroom fixtures were documented and subsequently certified as corrected in 2024. Historical records show consistent attention to pest control, with the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passing successfully, continuing a pattern of passing inspections dating back to at least 2010. While there have been maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020, the building's more recent history shows improved compliance with health and safety standards, particularly regarding pest management and bedbug reporting requirements.
