406 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001
The five-story, 20-unit old law tenement at 406 West 25th Street in Chelsea, built in 1910 and currently managed by owner Marcy Boucher, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in both the entire building and individual apartments during late 2024 and early 2025, with several instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced persistent problems in apartment 3RE, including violations for defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window repair needs documented in October 2024, as well as reported rodent and insect infestations.
Structural and maintenance concerns include three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 related to exterior conditions, such as cracks in the front facade and issues with the entrance canopy. Recent inspections have revealed continuing maintenance challenges, including multiple missed inspections for required annual low-pressure system inspections between 2018-2023, and three active ECB violations (from 2021-2023) with substantial penalties totaling $25,000 related to various code violations. The building's management has been cited for multiple violations regarding access issues during inspections, and there have been several complaints about work being done without proper permits.
Building safety concerns have been documented, including a locked egress situation in 2021 that resulted in a violation. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections in late 2024, though earlier inspections noted rat activity. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years, the building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, safety equipment, and structural maintenance, with many complaints requiring multiple follow-ups before resolution.
