341 West 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

This four-story, two-family house located at 341 West 29th Street in Chelsea was built in 1847 and is currently owned by Jim Ramo. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, most notably regarding illegal hotel room activity in 2019, with multiple complaints recorded between May and November of that year. These violations included unauthorized transient use, lack of required safety systems such as sprinklers and alarms, and insufficient egress points, particularly affecting units on floors 2 through 4, with some resulting in fines totaling $2,500.

While most of these violations were ultimately resolved or dismissed, they raised serious safety concerns at the time. The property has also dealt with ongoing rodent issues, particularly evident in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed that year, though recent inspections show improvement. The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, as did the March 2022 inspection, indicating some progress in pest control.

Three separate rat activity inspections were conducted in May 2021, two of which showed evidence of rat presence. The building's history includes one bedbug report for the period of November 2017 to November 2018, though no units were found to be infested or previously infested during that time. Despite the historical issues, recent rodent inspection results show improvement, suggesting that most recent pest control efforts have been more effective.
