340 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The five-story, 15-unit building at 340 West 17th Street in Chelsea, owned by Kavi Sukhram, is a 1910 Old Law Tenement property that has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage that remains open as of the current date.

In early 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with at least two complaints filed in February, though these were subsequently closed after HPD inspections. A similar heat and hot water emergency was reported in January 2019 and resolved within a week.

The building's health and safety record shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filings from 2024, 2023, 2022, and prior years, indicating effective management of this issue. Additionally, the property has demonstrated good maintenance of basic sanitary conditions, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections conducted in 2024, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2012, and 2011. While the building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in 2019 and early 2023, the absence of recent bedbug reports and consistent passing of rodent inspections suggest that many basic habitability concerns are being addressed, though the most recent garbage storage complaint indicates some ongoing maintenance challenges.
