350 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 14-unit, 8-story residential building at 350 West 23rd Street in Chelsea, owned by Vivian Cioffi and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable issues and violations over recent years. Most concerning are two smoking-related incidents in 2025 (April-June) regarding violations of smoke-free area regulations, and a potentially hazardous façade situation from 2022 involving dislodged glass panels that affected an adjacent property, resulting in a $12,500 penalty.

The building has faced ongoing façade maintenance challenges, with active violations related to spalling brick noted in 2018-2022, and there was a serious building vibration complaint in 2019. Multiple Department of Buildings violations from 2020-2023 remain active or were recently resolved, including issues with bedbug report compliance (2023) and exterior low-pressure inspection filings (2023). Despite these challenges, there are some positive aspects to note: the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024, showing effective pest control management.

The property has also demonstrated proper bedbug reporting compliance for five consecutive years (2020-2025), with zero infestation cases reported each year. Recent building permits from 2018 show active maintenance and work continuation on the property. While the building has experienced several violations and complaints over the years, recent compliance with bedbug reporting and rodent control suggests improved management practices in some areas, though the persistence of certain façade and inspection-related violations indicates ongoing maintenance concerns.
