331 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 331 West 16th Street in Chelsea, owned by Pavel Krivchikov and built in 1900, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most significantly, in October 2020, multiple violations were issued related to paint/plaster conditions (including windows, walls, ceilings, and floors), safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide detectors, and general flooring issues. These violations were primarily concentrated in Apartment 12, which also had specific problems with broken plaster surfaces, defective smoke detectors, and window repairs that required attention.

The building has ongoing compliance issues, as evidenced by active ECB violations from 2020 regarding chimney disrepair that resulted in a combined penalty of $7,250. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated. However, prior to that, there were no reported infestations between 2022-2023 and from 2020-2021.

The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent passing results from 2010 through 2024, indicating effective pest management in this area. An unusual complaint regarding building shaking/vibrations was recorded in 2019, though this was resolved the same day with an Oath Violation. The building has maintained reasonable compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though violations were issued in 2021-2023 for failure to file timely reports. While many of the 2020 violations have been addressed, several remain open, including issues with flooring, window sashes, and various plaster surfaces in Apartment 12, suggesting some ongoing maintenance challenges.
