203 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The five-story, 10-unit tenement building at 203 West 14th Street in Chelsea, owned by Linda Bell and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2022, serious concerns emerged regarding the building's structural integrity, including reports of a collapsed foundation wall in the cellar, bulging problems, and cracks affecting upper floors. These structural issues prompted emergency work and required the installation of shoring and bracing to stabilize the building.
The Department of Buildings issued violations related to these conditions, though some were later dismissed following repairs completed under structural repair job #M00693565-I1. More recent violations from 2023-2024 include issues with foundation maintenance that remains active, as well as problems with the building's external low-pressure system inspection filings. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic sanitation and safety requirements, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2018 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections since 2010.
However, there are some areas of concern: in 2019, multiple housing maintenance complaints were filed regarding door/window issues, pest control, and electrical problems, all of which were closed. The property has also experienced some regulatory issues, with recent complaints regarding unpermitted work and illegal signage, though many complaints have been closed or referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. A construction lead dust complaint from 2020 remains in progress as of 2023. The building has maintained proper health department compliance regarding food establishments, with the most recent inspection in 2024 showing no immediate concerns.
