324 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 12-unit, 5-story residential building at 324 West 17th Street in Chelsea, owned by 322-24-26 West 17th St Hdfc, was constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The most pressing current issues center around Apartment 5E, which has multiple open violations as of April 2024, including mold problems (approximately 4 square feet in bathroom and 3 square feet in a third room), a roof leak, and construction-related nuisances including an acoustic drop ceiling and wood paneling around the gas range. Additional April 2024 complaints include a slow water leak and flooring issues, with corresponding violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has maintained a clean record of bedbug infestations over the past several years, with the most recent reports (2024-2021) showing zero infested units. Rodent inspections have consistently passed, with the most recent occurring in October 2024. The property has a history of boiler-related issues, with violations documented in 2021 regarding defective equipment and safety concerns, including problems with the boiler room access sign and various maintenance issues, though these were subsequently resolved.

A bedbug report violation from 2021 was also documented. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections dating back to 2010, all of which have passed. The most recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 5E, requiring attention to both safety and habitability concerns.
