442 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

442 West 23rd Street is a 6-story, 5-unit residential building located in Chelsea, built in 1855 and currently owned by Carole Corcoran. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with particular attention needed on maintenance compliance. There are currently three open violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018, 2019, and 2021, as well as a recent bedbug reporting requirement violation from 2024.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug report filing status from 2020-2025 with zero infestations reported in the past five cycles, there was a significant plumbing emergency in January 2021 that required HPD intervention, though no violations were found. The property has had some compliance challenges regarding work permits and safety requirements. In 2019, there was a stop-work order issued for unauthorized renovation work on the third floor, which was later rescinded. In July 2022, there were violations related to an unpermitted sidewalk shed and site conditions endangering workers, resulting in fines totaling $1,875.

The building's rodent inspection history shows regular monitoring, with most inspections passing, though there were instances of rat activity in July and September 2021. The property's most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 was completed successfully. Despite these issues, the building has demonstrated some proactive maintenance, as evidenced by the timely filing of annual bedbug reports and the apparent resolution of most past violations. ***This Report is based on data through October 2023 and is intended for informational purposes only.***
