Augrented Insights Report for 236 West 15th Street

The 6-story, 35-unit building at 236 West 15th Street in Chelsea, owned by Jesse Hutcher, has experienced several significant maintenance issues from 2017 through 2025. The building, constructed in 1901 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water, including emergency complaints in both January and November 2024 that HPD was unable to investigate due to lack of access. Recent concerns include an ongoing investigation as of January 2025 regarding construction lead dust in common areas.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including electrical problems (multiple instances of no lighting in 2022), unsanitary conditions (mold in October 2024), and multiple violations related to paint/plaster issues. Safety concerns were previously noted regarding the fire escape system, with violations documented in 2021. The property has undergone facade-related inspections and repair requirements, with several violations recorded from 2018-2022 regarding the need to submit critical examination reports and address unsafe conditions.

Notable recent compliance includes passing rodent inspections in 2024 and 2022, though there were concerns about rat activity in 2020. The building has maintained a bedbug-free record in recent annual filings from 2019 to 2024. While most violations have been resolved, including those regarding the expired sidewalk shed permits and facade maintenance requirements, the ongoing lead dust investigation and recent heating system complaints suggest continuing maintenance challenges. The building's management has generally complied with reporting requirements, though there have been periods requiring intervention from regulatory agencies to address various maintenance issues.
