350 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001
The 6-story, 31-unit building at 350 West 30th Street in Chelsea, built in 1926 and currently owned by Jose Carela, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is the ongoing fire escape safety situation, with multiple complaints filed between August 2023 and October 2024 showing this as a persistent problem, including an active violation as of June 2024 requiring proper maintenance of the drop ladder at the building's front.
The building has also faced multiple unsanitary conditions, with recent issues including sewage problems (May 2024), garbage storage concerns (August 2023), and mold (September 2023), though inspections generally found no violations in these cases. The property has been the subject of several Department of Buildings investigations regarding potential illegal conversions and hotel rooms between 2022 and 2024, with multiple inspections where access was not granted.
Structural concerns have been documented, including a 2024 violation related to an inadequately maintained sidewalk shed and prior issues with the exterior brick facade noted in 2023. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug and rodent inspections, consistently showing no infestation cases reported from 2020 through 2024, and passing all rodent inspections except for one failure in 2018, which was likely resolved through subsequent compliance checks. The building's history also shows some pattern of access issues for inspections, particularly regarding fire escape and illegal hotel room investigations, suggesting potential challenges in addressing safety concerns when violations are reported.
