208 West 15th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 12-unit, 3-story building at 208 West 15th Street in Chelsea, owned by Marybell Rajo and built in 1920, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past few years. Most concerning are ten heat and hot water-related complaints between 2022 and 2024, including three in 2024 alone, where HPD was unable to gain access to investigate the reported problems.
The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with multiple emergency complaints in early 2022 related to plumbing (specifically toilets), doors, cabinets, and walls, though these were closed without violations being issued following inspections. Recent building history shows several active violations regarding external low-pressure inspections, with six violations issued from 2018 to 2023 showing failure to file required inspections, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. There have been confirmed rodent issues, including rat activity reported in October 2024, though a subsequent compliance inspection in November 2024 passed.
The building's bedbug reporting for 2022-2023 indicates no infestations, with similar reports in 2023-2024 showing zero infested units. A Certificate of Occupancy complaint was filed in July 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access. While various general maintenance issues have been documented, including pest concerns in 2022, the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing these complaints, with most being resolved through inspections even if violations were not ultimately issued.
