Augrented Insights Report for 336 West 17th Street

The 5-story, 16-unit building at 336 West 17th Street, owned by Michael Besen, has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges since 2022. As of June 2025, multiple open complaints have been filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and there is currently an open emergency safety complaint regarding the fire escape. The building has also faced recurring rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing contradictory results of "passed" inspections followed by a "rat activity" finding in April 2024.

While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, building maintenance problems persist, including multiple open violations related to apartment 1B's kitchen cabinet and emergency door concerns. The property has a documented history of work without proper permits and electrical system issues between 2021 and 2023, resulting in substantial penalties. Violations from 2021-2022 included failure to ground electrical systems and unauthorized construction modifications, while more recent violations in 2024-2025 show ongoing concerns about garbage management and safety systems.

The building's ventilation and safety systems have also been a focus, with violations recorded for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2A in mid-2023. Despite these issues, there have been recent inspections showing some passing results (e.g., rodent inspections in 2025) and no reported bedbug problems since 2021-2022. The property has maintained active compliance efforts, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2023 for various repair and construction work, though some violations remain open as of mid-2025.
