323 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 6-story, 10-unit building at 323 West 16th Street in Chelsea, owned by William Beer and constructed in 1902, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and water systems. In January 2022, complaints about lack of heat and hot water were filed with HPD, though inspectors were unable to access the affected apartments for verification.

The building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years (2021-2024), with notices issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Most recently, in June 2023, a violation was issued for failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of the latest data available. The building's overall maintenance record shows some positive indicators, including successful rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection conducted in October 2024.

Bedbug filings for 2022-2025 have consistently reported zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management, despite the earlier reporting violations. The property has undergone some permitted work, with records indicating issued permits for electrical and equipment work in 2019, though specific details of these works are not provided in the available data. While the building has had its share of violations and service issues, most have been addressed through compliance actions, and the recent years show improvement in bedbug management and pest control compliance.
