246 10th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001

246 10th Avenue is a 6-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in the Chelsea neighborhood, currently owned by Robert Krueger. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout 2024 and into 2025, including building-wide outages in late 2024 and early 2025. These emergencies were consistently addressed by HPD, though there were several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification.

The building has also faced plumbing concerns, as evidenced by an emergency plumbing complaint in January 2024, and issues with pest control, including both rodent and unsanitary conditions reported in 2024. Recent inspections and complaints have shown some ongoing maintenance challenges. A violation was issued in 2024 for a broken radiator in Apartment 5A, though this was later certified as corrected. The property has maintained a record of proper bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in recent years (2019-2024).

While rodent inspections have shown varying results between 2017 and 2024, the most recent inspection in October 2024 passed, indicating improved conditions. There are active violations on record from 2019 and 2023 related to unfiled boiler inspections. The building's history includes several construction-related complaints between 2018-2020, including work without permits and illegal after-hours work, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The absence of recent bedbug and significant pest complaints suggests some stabilization of conditions, though the recurring heating issues remain a notable concern.
