353 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 6-story, 32-unit building at 353 West 30th Street in Chelsea, owned by Joe Restuccia, has experienced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with water-related problems, including multiple complaints between August 2024 and January 2025 involving water leaks, damp spots, and even an emergency water leak incident.

The building has gone through significant pest management challenges, as evidenced by the January 2025 unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests, marking a relatively recent pest issue following previous infestations. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report (January 2025) showing no current infestations, though there was one re-infested unit reported in December 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of repairs and violations primarily concentrated in the third floor (apartments 3A and 3B2), including multiple citations for water leaks, plaster and paint issues, and various maintenance problems.

The elevator system, while previously noted as having compliance issues in 2018 and facing complaints in 2024 regarding single device service, was found to have no violations warranting a citation during a 2024 inspection. The property has maintained a passing record on rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2010 through 2024 showing compliance. While there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and emergency repairs required, records indicate that these issues have generally been addressed and certified as corrected by late 2024, including significant repairs to plumbing and electrical systems, particularly in apartments 3A, 3B2, and 4D.
