446 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 8-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 446 West 25th Street in Chelsea, owned by Catherine Garvin and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an active violation related to the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, with similar violations dating back to 2018 also remaining unresolved, including a failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with zero reported infestations in the most recent 2024 reporting period and previous years showing similar cleanliness. Between 2018 and 2021, the property faced multiple serious violations regarding building safety and occupancy standards, including failure to maintain required fire alarm systems, means of egress, and sprinkler systems for transient use, as well as unauthorized construction work and illegal occupancy issues. These violations resulted in various penalties, including $4,200 for unauthorized short-term rental activity in 2018.

While the building experienced rodent sightings in 2022, subsequent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have consistently passed, with bait application observed in multiple 2023 inspections suggesting ongoing pest management efforts. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated a rodent complaint in 2022 and found no violations at that time. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with all reports indicating zero infested units during the reporting periods.
