357 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001
The 5-unit, 3-story building at 357 West 30th Street in Chelsea, owned by Yuenjae Cho and constructed in 1920, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding maintenance and safety compliance. Most critically, there are multiple open violations related to building code compliance, including unauthorized door modifications, self-closing mechanism violations, and a troubling pattern of not filing required annual bedbug reports since 2021.
The building has also had recurring pest control challenges, with the most recent Department of Health inspection in September 2024 revealing unsanitary pigeon conditions requiring follow-up inspections, and previous rodent inspections showing rat activity in 2018 and most recently in 2024. Of particular concern are several historical enforcement actions from 2019-2020 suggesting previous use and occupancy violations, including illegal hotel room operations and occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy.
These led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations with significant penalties, though many were eventually resolved. Recent infrastructure concerns were highlighted in 2023 inspections showing a lack of heat/hot water access problems that required HPD involvement, though inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments for verification. The building has shown continued issues with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by multiple open violations, including a recent unsatisfactory pigeon condition finding by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2024.
