220 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
220 West 16th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Chelsea, owned by Ann Long and constructed in 1901. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2025, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
There are three open violations from August 2024 related to self-closing door issues at the building's entrance and fire door in the first story vestibule, which are classified as Class C violations. The building underwent significant activity in April 2023, with multiple complaints regarding work without permits and unsafe demolition practices, resulting in an active ECB violation related to unauthorized trench excavations in the rear yard, though three related complaints were ultimately closed with no violations found at the time of inspection. The property has had regular bedbug reporting showing zero infested units for the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), and passed its most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 following a rat activity finding in October 2024.
Historical records show generally good rodent control compliance, with only two instances of rat activity noted between 2010 and 2024. The building's safety compliance history has been mixed, with several violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2023, though these have since been resolved. The property appears to be currently addressing several active violations as of October 2023, including failures to certify corrections of hazardous violations and missing low pressure inspection filings for 2018-2019, which were marked as dismissed in February 2025 but indicate previous compliance issues.
