206 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 12-story converted old law tenement at 206 West 17th Street in Chelsea, built in 1910 and containing 11 units, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is a current unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage, with an HPD inspection in October 2024 unable to gain access for examination. The building has faced multiple violations and complaints between 2019 and 2022, including an illegal water filtration system installation in 2022 (resulting in a $1,250 fine), failure to maintain proper building certificates in 2021 ($500 fine), and multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits.
There was a potentially serious facade safety concern in 2021, though the violation was eventually dismissed. Earlier complaints included electrical outlet issues in 2020 (no violations found), and various tenant safety inspections in 2020 showed no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance record shows generally good pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019 filings show zero infested units).
Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2010, with the most recent one in October 2024 also showing compliance. While there have been several violations and compliance issues, many have been resolved or dismissed, though some remain active as of the latest records. The ownership under David Perez has maintained the building's basic compliance with housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by the regular bedbug and rodent inspections showing no active infestations or infestations in dwelling units since at least 2019.
