248 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 48-unit, 6-story New Law tenement at 248 West 17th Street in Chelsea, built in 1920 and currently owned by Avi Stern, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, though recent records indicate improved conditions. The most significant recent incident was a smoking violation recorded in October 2021, which was closed in June 2024.
In March 2020, the building experienced heat and hot water issues, though these were reportedly resolved within a few days of the complaint. The Department of Buildings conducted an investigation in November 2023 regarding elevator service, but found no violations at the time of inspection. The building has maintained a consistent record of cleanliness and pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025) according to the annual reports, and the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 resulted in a passing grade.
While there was an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage in July 2019, no violations were issued upon inspection. The building's violation history shows one resolved violation from January 2019 that was addressed by December 2020. Overall, the property has demonstrated effective maintenance of basic residential standards, though the periodic heating and elevator service issues suggest some infrastructure concerns warrant attention.
