300 W 30Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 16-story, 69-unit residential building at 300 West 30th Street in Chelsea, owned by Heli Song, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several notable issues since its completion. Most recently, in October 2024, there was a complaint about illegal after-hours work, though inspections found no violations.

The building has a significant history of construction-related complaints, particularly during 2022, with multiple incidents regarding site conditions endangering workers and construction safety compliance, including one instance in September 2022 that resulted in a stop work order (though this was fully rescinded). Several violations related to energy benchmarking requirements have been recorded, with the most recent active violation dating from February 2024 regarding the failure to file required energy use reports, while previous similar violations from 2023, including issues with displaying energy efficiency scores, were dismissed after proper corrections were made. The building's permit history shows multiple active permits and inspections throughout 2021-2022, including new building (NB) and plumbing (PL) permits.

While the property experienced various compliance issues during its early years of operation, most violations have been corrected, with only the February 2024 energy benchmarking violation remaining active as of now. The owner has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by the dismissal of multiple violations in 2023 through proper filing and payment. The building's construction phase in 2022 showed particular attention from regulatory authorities, with multiple inspections and citations regarding safety and compliance issues, though these appear to have been addressed through subsequent permits and corrections.
