Augrented Insights Report for 244 West 15th Street

244 West 15th Street is a 6-story, 59-unit Class A apartment building in Chelsea, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Becky Craft. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2023 regarding lack of heat/hot water throughout the building, which HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues.

Similar heat-related complaints were recorded in 2019, including one where tenants reported that systems were restored before inspection. The building has faced several other significant concerns, including a partial vacate order in September 2021 due to hazardous conditions in the rear courtyard, and failure to file 2021 external low pressure inspections, which remains an active violation as of June 2023. Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in 2019, requiring the posting of safety notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and housing information guides in common areas, though these were certified as corrected by July 2019.

The property has maintained relatively good pest control records, with zero reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024), and rodent inspections showing compliance in 2024, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2024, following several years of successful bait treatments between 2017-2021. A 2019 complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage was investigated but resulted in no violations. The building's management has a mixed record of addressing violations and complaints, with some issues remaining active or requiring multiple follow-ups, particularly regarding heat system maintenance and exterior safety compliance.
