326 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

326 West 22nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1841 and currently owned by Sandra Ahlers. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a heat and hot water complaint in March 2022 that prompted HPD involvement, though inspectors were unable to access the building for verification.

There are also two concerning violations related to external low-pressure inspections in 2022-2023, with the earlier violation from April 2023 still marked as active as of the latest records. While the building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infestation cases throughout the reporting periods, it encountered a rat activity issue in July 2024 during rodent inspections, though subsequent inspections in 2025 showed improvement with passing results. The building's maintenance history shows generally consistent compliance with various housing codes since 2019, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passing successfully.

Notably, the property failed to file its 2021 low-pressure inspection documentation, leading to a violation in April 2023, which was later dismissed. The building's older construction age and history of issues related to heat and water suggest attention may be required to maintain resident comfort and building systems. However, the consistent reporting of zero bedbug infestations over the past five years indicates effective pest management practices are being maintained, and most recent inspections have generally passed standard requirements, suggesting that while there are some active maintenance issues, the building management is generally responsive to regulatory requirements.
