323 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

323 West 30th Street is a 23-unit, three-story residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Nathaniel Rahav. The property has recently faced several concerning issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints related to mold (both emergency and non-emergency), appliance problems (including refrigerator and electric/gas range issues), and door maintenance requiring attention.

In April 2024, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety requirements, including the need to post proper notices for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and heating system access, as well as a requirement to maintain information about gas leak procedures. The building's rodent control measures appear to be ongoing, with multiple bait applications recorded between late 2024 and early 2025, though a compliance inspection in January 2025 passed. Importantly, the building's bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show zero infested units reported in every annual filing, indicating effective pest management in this regard.

An illegal hotel room complaint was investigated and closed in June 2022, with a compliance inspection performed at that time. The recent pattern of multiple mold complaints and various maintenance issues in 2024 suggests some ongoing challenges with building maintenance, though it's worth noting that no violations were issued during the inspections responding to these complaints. The building maintains regular compliance inspections, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspection in January 2025 and previous inspections demonstrating either compliance or bait applications.
