470 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
This 6-story, 18-unit residential building at 470 West 23rd Street in Chelsea, owned by Scott Berman, has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple DOHMH rodent complaints and inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait from February through July 2025.
The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2024, with multiple emergency complaints between March and August, though some were resolved following inspections. Additionally, plumbing issues were reported in March and April 2024, with limited access preventing full inspections in some cases. The property has recent active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from September 2024, and a food poisoning complaint from December 2024 remains in progress.
Earlier violations from 2023-2024 in apartment 401 included pest infestation (mice), bathroom issues, and various maintenance concerns, though many of these have been certified as corrected. The building's exterior has required attention, with Department of Buildings violations in 2020-2021 regarding façade maintenance, including spalling stucco and crumbling stone features, though these issues were eventually resolved. The building's management has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in recent years, according to the annual bedbug reporting requirements.
