351 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

351 West 17th Street is a four-story, four-unit residential building located in Chelsea, owned by Richard Kingman and constructed in 1900 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues over the past several years, most notably a heating and hot water complaint that was filed in February 2019 affecting the entire building; however, inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

This complaint was classified as emergency-level under the Housing Maintenance Code. While there was a documented water leak issue in June 1999 affecting the bathroom, foyer, and west room of a unit on the fourth floor, this violation was marked as closed, though the certified date shown is in 2023, which appears anomalous.

The building has maintained a strong record regarding pest control and sanitation, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past six years, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting system showing zero infested or eradicated units from 2019 through late 2024. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted consistently, with the most recent one in October 2024 showing a passing result, continuing a pattern of successful compliance dating back to at least 2011. The building has demonstrated good overall maintenance in recent years, with no major recurring issues or violations noted in the most recent inspections and reporting periods.
