327 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 6-story, 62-unit building at 327 West 30th Street in Chelsea, owned by Nicolae Marcan and constructed in 1963, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in 2024 and 2025, with at least three instances where HPD could not gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 7D, which has multiple open violations from May 2023 including issues with roof leaks, window problems, and self-closing door functionality. Apartment 6D has two open violations from October 2023 related to a water leak and ventilation system issues. The property has a history of general building maintenance concerns, with a cluster of complaints recorded in 2023-2024 regarding doors/windows, unsanitary conditions (including pests and mold), and various general maintenance issues.

Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations since 2019, and recent rodent inspections (2024) have passed. The building has also been subject to several Department of Buildings complaints and violations, though many relate to historical issues that have since been resolved. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and recent rodent inspections have passed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and current violations in apartments 6D and 7D indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
