201 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 12-story, 37-unit residential building at 201 West 17th Street in Chelsea, owned by Gina Fazzalaro and constructed in 2000, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns over recent years. Most pressing is an active violation from November 2023 related to swarming conditions, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building has undergone multiple facade issues, with a 2023 Unsafe Notification under LL11/98 currently in the system, and a history of problematic facade work in 2022 that resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations regarding improper scaffolding and suspended scaffold/outtrigger beam setups during exterior repairs.

Elevator safety has been an ongoing concern, beginning with device issues in 2022 and continuing with non-compliance for immediate hazard corrections noted in a 2021 violation. The building has demonstrated good pest management, with bedbug reports between 2018 and 2024 showing zero infestations or required eradications. The property has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing all evaluations from 2010 through 2024.

Multiple safety inspections, including tenant safety checks in 2023 and a CSE sweep, have resulted in no violations. The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance activity, with various plumbing and electrical work permits issued between 2018 and 2021. Past issues have included exterior maintenance violations in 2021 regarding spalling concrete on balconies and defective joints, though these were resolved. The most recent Department of Buildings inspections and complaints, including a March 2025 complaint about work without permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, found no violations warranting penalties.
