Augrented Insights Report for 338 West 17th Street

338 West 17th Street is a 5-story, 17-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 in Chelsea, currently owned by 338 W 17 St Holdings LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with significant problems reported in 2023 and 2024 including multiple emergency heat/hot water outages (December 2024), mold and ceiling damage (October 2023), and various unsanitary conditions. Recent inspections have documented rat activity as of July 2025, though earlier health inspections in 2025 found no violations.

The building previously faced serious violations in 2020 regarding unauthorized demolition work and construction code compliance issues in Apartment 2A, resulting in financial penalties. Multiple violations were recorded in late 2023 related to building safety and security, including issues with self-closing doors, fire escape obstructions, and security locks. The property has maintained an active bedbug-free record from 2020 through 2025, with regular filings showing no infested units.

Although recent rodent inspections have shown variable results, including both passed and failed inspections, the building has undergone several permit-issuing processes for various work projects. The frequent nature of maintenance complaints, spanning issues such as mold, water leaks, and heating problems, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent building inspections in 2025 and 2024 have shown some compliance improvements, though previous code violations and emergency service requests indicate persistent maintenance concerns.
