Augrented Insights Report for 248 West 16th Street

248 West 16th Street is a five-story, 46-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chelsea, built in 1930 and currently owned by Jack Lerner. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in April 2023, which was investigated by HPD but did not result in violations.

The building currently has two open violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file 2021 External Low Pressure Inspections. Previous maintenance history shows recurring issues with basic systems, including multiple complaints in 2018 regarding plumbing (radiator and toilet) and appliance (electric/gas range) problems, as well as several violations in 2018 related to a fifth-floor apartment (5F) including defective smoke detector, missing carbon monoxide detector, and toilet flushing issues, all of which were certified as corrected in 2024. The building has undergone various inspections and maintenance work over the years, including a boiler inspection in August 2024 that found no violations at the time of inspection.

While the bedbug reporting for the past five years shows no infestations, recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicated some rat activity, though earlier inspections from 2017-2019 showed compliance. The building has seen multiple permit issuances, with the most recent permits issued in June 2019 for specific work. The property has been subject to regular safety inspections and monitoring, with most identified issues being addressed and closed through proper channels, though some persistent violations remain open as of the latest available data.
