221 West 17Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 10-story, 13-unit residential building at 221 West 17th Street in Chelsea, owned by Divya Rashad and constructed in 1912, has experienced several notable events in recent years. The most recent significant incident occurred in September 2023 when a complaint was filed regarding building shaking or vibrating, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with the most current report for the period ending October 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property has a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024, indicating generally good maintenance standards in this regard. Previous concerns include a 2021 violation related to the late filing of the annual bedbug report (which was subsequently closed), and several construction-related issues in 2018, including two complaints about site conditions endangering workers and an Environmental Control Board violation regarding safety during scaffold dismantling.

Elevator service concerns were investigated in 2020, but no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvement work, with multiple plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and equipment (EQ) permits issued between 2018 and 2021, suggesting active management of building systems and infrastructure. While there have been various complaints and violations recorded over the years, most have been resolved promptly, and recent records indicate improved conditions with respect to bedbug management and general maintenance.
