310 West 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 5-story, 16-unit residential building at 310 West 18th Street in Chelsea, owned by Dzemal Sabovic, has experienced consistent heating system issues over the past several years. The most recent heating complaints were filed in October 2022, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, though these were resolved within days of reporting. Between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple documented incidents of heat and hot water problems, with violations issued in January 2021 for inadequate heat and hot water in apartment 4C, and concerns about access to the heating system in the basement.

The building's management received multiple violations in 2019 for not properly posting required notices regarding heating system access, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and other important information, though these violations were subsequently closed. Of particular note is the building's current rodent management status. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 show a pattern of rat activity, with multiple bait applications and two compliance inspections indicating rat activity in February and April 2025.

While these issues are being actively addressed through bait applications, the frequency of such treatments suggests an ongoing challenge with pest management. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years, with no reported infestations in any unit between 2019 and 2024. The property has also recently passed its rodent inspection as of July 2025, indicating some improvement in pest control efforts.
