348 West 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 10-unit, 2-story building at 348 West 21st Street in Chelsea, owned by Joshua Gotlib, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water outage in April 2025. The building, constructed in 1920 and previously classified as a converted Class A building, has faced multiple heating system challenges, with three emergency heat-related complaints recorded between March 2022 and April 2025.

Additional significant issues include two separate mold complaints in mid-2024 (July and August), and various building system failures such as an inoperable intercom system (April 2022), door/window problems (April 2022), and water leak issues (January 2022). A noteworthy safety concern is the open violation recorded in August 2024 for missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 3R, though other violations from earlier inspections have been resolved. Rodent inspections have generally shown compliance, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, though there was one failed inspection in July 2023.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases across multiple annual filings from 2020 through 2024. Recent property maintenance inspections have revealed several open violations, including issues with the building's heating system access (March 2022), basement entrance lock mechanism (June 2022), and security systems. While the building has experienced various infrastructure challenges typical of its age, including heating system problems and intercom failures, it has generally passed recent rodent inspections and maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status.
