349 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The three-story, three-unit brownstone at 349 West 22nd Street in Chelsea, owned by Phyllis Jacobson and constructed in 1841, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple documented cases in 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity, including four inspection results indicating rat activity between April 2024 and May 2025.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has received three rodent-related service requests in late 2024 alone, and an April 2024 inspection resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations recorded in 2022 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2022 to 2025 show no documented infestations in any dwelling units. In 2020, the building underwent significant scrutiny for unauthorized construction work, resulting in three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to unpermitted construction and electrical work, along with a building code violation for failure to maintain code compliance.
While these violations were resolved with imposed penalties of $1,250 and $1,600 (which have since been paid), the property continued to demonstrate regulatory challenges. A 2020 emergency door/window complaint investigation by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building’s permit records show activity in 2022 with multiple permits issued for electrical work.
