305 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

305 West 20th Street is a 4-story, 7-unit Class A residential building in Chelsea, built in 1850 and currently owned by Casey Lloyd. The property has been subject to multiple regulatory inspections and has maintained relatively good overall conditions. Most notably, the building underwent a comprehensive inspection on June 29, 2023, which resulted in several violations primarily related to safety equipment and building maintenance.

These included issues with fire safety notices, door closures, and required signage regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. The building was found to have two active violations in 2024 related to external low-pressure inspections that were not filed for 2022 and 2023. Despite these violations, the building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported cases of bedbugs in recent years (2022-2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025.

A building shaking/structural stability complaint was filed in February 2023, but the inspector was unable to gain access to the property for inspection. The building's history shows regular maintenance of its systems, though the recent violations concerning external low-pressure inspections suggest an oversight in maintaining necessary documentation. The property has maintained its Class A status and appears to be actively managing its compliance requirements, though there have been some delays in addressing certain safety notice requirements as indicated by the 2023 violations.
