350 West 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

350 West 18th Street is a 6-story, 15-unit New Law tenement building in Chelsea, built in 1910 and currently owned by Paul Brensilber. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat, hot water, and cooking gas systems, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint filed in April 2025 being marked as an emergency that was closed without inspection access. Between 2022 and 2023, there have been multiple complaints regarding cooking gas systems, electric ranges, and various appliance issues, several of which resulted in violations.

The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023 when multiple violations were issued for Apartment 4C, including problems with pests (roaches), water leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and an air conditioning unit improperly extending beyond the window sill. Other building-wide concerns documented throughout 2023 included a defective front entrance door, roof leaks, and inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures. The building has undergone several inspections for illegal hotel rooms between 2019-2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access during all attempts.

Pest management records show consistent monitoring for bedbugs between 2020-2024, with no confirmed infestations recorded in the past four reporting periods. Rodent control efforts between 2017-2024 show initial rat activity in December 2018, followed by periods of bait application and successful inspections, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing without issues. The Department of Buildings issued a permit for work on the property in November 2018, though specific details of the permitted work are not provided in the available data.
