408 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

408 West 25th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in Chelsea, currently owned by James Weichert. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented outages affecting either the entire building or individual apartments between 2019 and 2020, all of which were resolved by HPD intervention. More recent concerns include several boiler-related violations in 2021, with inspections revealing multiple issues such as blocked combustion air, unapproved modifications, and a lack of proper signage in the boiler room, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

The building has been consistently maintaining its bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings (2023-2025) indicating zero infested units. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the past few years, with some notable violations recorded in 2019. These included issues with the fire escape, intercom system, and various building maintenance requirements such as improper notice postings and damaged plaster surfaces in Apartment 3FE.

The building's rodent inspections show a mix of results, with occasional rat activity detected in 2018 and 2019, though recent inspections (2024 and 2019) have passed successfully. Multiple permits have been issued for electrical work in the building between 2020 and 2021, including a significant electrical project in Apartment 4RE that was completed without proper permits, though this violation was subsequently resolved. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over time, recent inspections and bedbug reporting suggest improved compliance with housing regulations, with no documented infestations or major violations in the past two years.
