458 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 458 West 25th Street in Chelsea, owned by Katherine Wilson, has experienced recurring issues with pest management and safety compliance since 2018. Most notably, there has been an ongoing requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024 remaining open.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with zero reported infestations during the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 reporting periods. The property has also faced external low-pressure inspection compliance issues, with a violation issued in June 2023 for failing to file the 2018 inspection report (this violation was still active as of October 2023), while a separate violation for the 2019 inspection was dismissed in September 2023.

A concerning pattern of rodent activity was documented between 2018 and 2019, with several initial inspections showing rat activity, though more recent inspections have shown improvement, with a passing result in November 2024, following an initial inspection failure in October 2024. The building's record indicates an increasing trend toward compliance in recent years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, though the ongoing open bedbug violation from 2024 and the active external low-pressure inspection violation from 2023 remain notable concerns as of October 2023.
