409 West 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

409 West 24th Street is a 4-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building in Chelsea, built in 1900 and currently owned by Denay Riley. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2024, with five emergency heat-related complaints filed between October 2023 and December 2023, none of which were able to be investigated by HPD due to access issues.

The building also underwent multiple inspections in February 2023, revealing no violations related to flooring, doors, sanitation (pests), wall conditions, or electrical systems, though other inspections from 2024 indicated new issues requiring attention. These included open B-class violations for a defective wood floor in the 2nd story public hall, missing metal mesh under the skylight in the bulkhead/roof area, and multiple C-class violations related to self-closing door mechanisms in various locations including Apartment 4, Apartment 10, and the basement/boiler room areas. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance with housing codes, with several doors requiring repair or replacement, as indicated by multiple violations.

While the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2019, there was one period of rat activity noted in December 2018. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 show no infestations or re-infestations, indicating effective pest management. Despite multiple emergency heat complaints in late 2023, the building has demonstrated overall compliance with many housing maintenance requirements, though some open violations remain pending resolution as of 2024.
