Augrented Insights Report for 240 West 16th Street

240 West 16th Street is a 5-story, 19-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chelsea and owned by Allison Schifini, with a construction date of 1901. The building has experienced recurring issues with building maintenance and resident comfort over the past several years.

Of particular concern is an open complaint as of April 2025 regarding mailbox conditions, and a pattern of pest-related complaints between 2019-2024, with the most recent pest-related issue reported in October 2024 remaining unresolved. The building has also faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including various door/window issues (2019-2024), heat and hot water problems (2022), and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (2022). Significant violations were documented in 2022 regarding the fire escape system, with reports of disrepair including missing stair treads between the 3rd and 4th floors.

These violations were classified as Class C and A, indicating varying levels of severity, though the building did address earlier violations related to fire escape maintenance and public hall conditions, including rust removal and painting requirements. The building's management has generally complied with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing no recorded infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024). While there have been multiple rodent activity reports between 2018-2024, recent inspections in 2024 showed improved compliance, passing inspections in October and November 2024.
