337 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

This 10-story, 37-unit residential building in Chelsea, built in 1987 and currently owned by Mmp 337 Owner LLC, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, particularly concerning unit conditions and illegal activities. Most notably, in late 2023, there were two reported mold incidents that were inspected by HPD, though no violations were found. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with violations issued in 2021 for vermin infestation in Apartment 2D, and past rodent sightings were reported in 2020, though the property passed subsequent inspections.

Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal short-term rentals, particularly involving units 5C and 6C, resulting in violations in November 2023 related to non-compliance with sprinkler and fire alarm system requirements, though these were subsequently resolved with fines totaling $3,750. The building underwent facade work in 2022 that generated numerous safety violations, primarily issued to Avarga Construction Corp, including issues with scaffold safety, worker supervision, and construction document compliance, resulting in penalties totaling $10,000. While the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2012, the recent pattern of mold complaints and past pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units. Regular housing maintenance code inspections have occurred, with the most recent showing no violations, though past violations included issues with floor tiles in public areas. The building's permit history shows numerous issued permits between 2018 and 2022, primarily for facade and plumbing work, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
