Augrented Insights Report for 228 West 16th Street

The 17-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 228 West 16th Street in Chelsea, owned by Michael Hepner, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around heating systems and building access controls. As of June 2025, there are two open complaints regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system (filed in June 2025 and November 2024), continuing a pattern of unresolved issues with building entry systems. The property has documented multiple heating and hot water system complaints between 2021-2024, though most were resolved promptly, typically indicating restoration of services during HPD inspections.

Notable violations were recorded in 2024 regarding safety equipment in Apartment 1A, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a defective entrance door. The building also faced an emergency plumbing issue in July 2023 (basin/sink), and inspections in late 2021 revealed unsanitary conditions concerning pests, for which violations were issued. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, including recent active violations for failure to file 2018 and 2020 external low-pressure inspections (issued June 2023).

However, on a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods (2019-2025), and recent rodent inspections in 2024 show mixed results, with one report noting rat activity (October 2024) while a subsequent compliance inspection (November 2024) passed. The building's history also includes various maintenance requests that were properly addressed through HPD inspections, including plumbing issues in different units and heating system complaints, suggesting that while there are recurring system problems, they are generally being documented and addressed through official channels. The most recent 311 service request in June 2025 was promptly investigated and closed, with verification of correction.
