335 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

335 West 14th Street is a 7-story, 28-unit residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Kenneth Nagin. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable during 2024 with multiple emergency complaints affecting the entire building and individual apartments. Recent maintenance history shows window frame issues in early 2025 and late 2024, with repairs confirmed by HPD inspections.

The building has undergone several safety inspections, with a Tenant Safety Inspection in April 2021 showing compliance. However, there are two active DOB violations: one from 2023 for failure to file FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report, and another from 2022 for not submitting the Benchmarking Report of Energy Use. The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and a passing rodent inspection in November 2024. Previous rodent activity was noted in October 2024 and April 2019, but these issues appear to have been addressed.

A significant construction project took place between 2018-2021, during which multiple work orders were issued, and there were three ECB violations related to inadequate tenant protection and unsafe conditions, though these have since been resolved. The building has a history of maintaining its permits, with the most recent work permits issued in 2023 for elevator and exterior work. The property has shown responsiveness to housing maintenance issues, with most complaints being resolved through inspections that verified corrections, though there have been instances where access for inspection was not granted or violations were not issued despite reported problems. Regular maintenance records and timely resolution of complaints suggest active management, though the recurring nature of heat and hot water issues indicates an ongoing system that requires attention.
