337 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

337 West 14th Street is a 7-story, 28-unit Old Law Tenement building in Chelsea, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Laurance Nagin. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints logged for both entire building and individual apartments in 2019, 2020, and most recently in January 2024.

The building's most recent complaints indicate problems with an electric/gas range as of January 2025, outlet/switch issues in January 2024, and a verified heating and hot water violation in January 2024 affecting Apartment 1. Compliance inspections in 2021 resulted in the issuance of Building Commissioner Stop Work Orders, though records show these were eventually rescinded. The elevator system has generated multiple complaints about single-device service between 2023 and 2024, with one Oath Violation served in November 2023.

The building has undergone various maintenance and compliance inspections over the years, with records showing attention to pest control (with no active infestations reported since 2018) and regular maintenance of rodent control measures, with bait applications documented throughout 2024 and 2025. Environmental Control Board violations were recorded in 2023 regarding hoist machine maintenance, resulting in a $1,562 penalty, and there have been multiple permit issuances for work at the property between 2018 and 2023 under job number 123437628. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services such as heat and hot water, though there have been official inspections and citations indicating efforts to address these issues, including the certification of several violations related to inadequate heat and hot water provision in February 2024.
