301 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

301 West 17th Street is a 6-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building located in Chelsea and owned by Judith Kingman. The building, constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring issues with food establishment violations between 2020 and 2025, including multiple complaints about food temperature and sanitation concerns, with the most recent incident in May 2025.

There have also been several significant Department of Buildings (DOB) matters, including a 2024 Local Law 188 compliance inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access, and a 2021 boiler violation that resulted in an Oath violation being served. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past six years, and rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing successfully. The property has undergone various permitted work projects, including plumbing work in 2018-2020, though there were some access issues noted in inspection records.

Significant historical data shows irregularities with health department inspections, particularly regarding food safety and establishment compliance, with multiple incidents requiring health department intervention between 2020 and 2025. While the building has had its share of compliance issues, particularly in the food service area, it has shown improvements in pest control management and maintains an active status for required inspections and permits. The most recent building and health department records indicate efforts to address and resolve recurring issues, though access problems have occasionally hindered inspections.
