308 West 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
308 West 18th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chelsea and built in 1900, currently owned by Shuhui Zeng. The building has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in December 2024 showing "Passed" status, though there were instances of rat activity noted in earlier months of 2024 (January and October).
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented a rat sighting in December 2023 that resulted in violation citations requiring follow-up inspections. The building's maintenance history shows several significant safety concerns, particularly in 2009 when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 4, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detector issues, fire egress problems, and compromised plaster surfaces requiring repairs.
The property's historical records indicate ongoing attention to pest management, with consistent bedbug reporting showing no infested units from 2021 to 2024, though an annual bedbug report violation was issued in April 2021. An illegal hotel room complaint was filed in June 2020, but the investigation was unable to access the property for verification. The building has maintained relatively good compliance with New York City's housing maintenance codes, with most violations being addressed and closed appropriately, though the recent rat activity and DOHMH violations suggest ongoing challenges with pest control and building maintenance.
