459 West 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
This three-story, four-unit Chelsea building at 459 West 24th Street, owned by Alessandro Cocco and constructed in 1850, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency that went uninvestigated due to restricted access, and earlier in the same year, there were unauthorized construction activities that resulted in a partial stop-work order and a subsequent $2,500 violation for installing new electrical and plumbing work and removing fireproofing on the second floor.
The building has faced recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections from 2020 through 2024 consistently revealing rat activity, though 2024 saw some inspections pass compliance. Notably, the building's bedbug reporting from 2022-2023 indicated no infestations during the required reporting period, despite multiple housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024.
The property has also been subject to various Department of Buildings complaints, including concerning excessive debris and work without permits in 2024, with one violation noting unauthorized construction of a fully-installed bathroom in the basement. A recent structural issue was reported in August 2024 regarding a fallen tree from a neighboring property damaging a brick fence section. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed responses to complaints, with several situations remaining unresolved at the time of inspection, such as the 2024 heat and hot water emergency.
