Augrented Insights Report for 309 West 21st Street

309 West 21st Street is a 6-story, 16-unit residential tenement building in Chelsea, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Issa Amini. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns focusing on electrical wiring, fire escape safety, and wall conditions, all of which remain open as of June 2025.

Significant past violations include multiple electrical system issues documented in 2018, including unsafe equipment, improper circuit configurations, and grounding problems, which resulted in active ECB violations with substantial fines. The building underwent multiple housing maintenance inspections in 2024, revealing various issues in Apartment 1B including pest infestations, window problems, and door maintenance needs, though most of these violations were subsequently closed. The property has a documented history of rodent control challenges, with several inspections between 2022-2025 showing varying degrees of rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed.

While there have been multiple complaints regarding the heating system and boiler issues between 2021-2024, most were found to have no violations upon inspection. The building's maintenance history illustrates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with its electrical system and building safety features, as evidenced by multiple open complaints and recent service requests. Current open violations and emergency complaints as of mid-2025 highlight continuing concerns with building systems that may impact resident safety and comfort.
