364 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

364 West 30th Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Paul Arnsten. The property has faced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues, with open violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024. The building experienced significant safety concerns in December 2018 when complaints about illegal hotel room conversions triggered multiple Environmental Control Board violations, revealing serious code compliance issues related to means of egress, fire safety systems, and unauthorized transient use of a basement apartment.

These violations remain active, with associated penalties totaling $4,390. Despite these serious infractions, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with successful compliance shown in all inspections from 2011 through October 2024, and a comprehensive bedbug treatment program was implemented between 2019-2020, with no active infestations reported during that period. The building has faced challenges in certifying corrections to immediately hazardous violations, particularly in March 2019, though some of these were later dismissed when downgraded to lesser categories.

The property has maintained proper records and compliance for rodent control, demonstrating ongoing attention to this aspect of building maintenance. While the building's age and history show some persistent compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and the 2018 illegal occupancy situation, the more recent rodent inspection record and lack of current infestations suggest improved pest management practices. The bedbug violations and the unresolved 2018 illegal occupancy matters, however, represent the most significant ongoing concerns for prospective tenants.
