257 West 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The four-unit, four-story old law tenement building at 257 West 18th Street in Chelsea, owned by Marc Siebert, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most concerning are the recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024 - suggesting ongoing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

While the building's most recent bedbug report from February 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020 indicated no infestations, the pattern of violations indicates potential challenges in meeting reporting requirements. The building is currently facing an active complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance as of August 2024, though a previous related complaint from October 2023 was closed with no violations found. In terms of pest control, the property's rodent inspections show consistent passing results, with the most recent occurring in October 2024, and all previous inspections from 2016 through 2024 also passed.

This suggests effective rodent management over the years. The building has also undergone various permit-related work, with a specific permit issued in August 2019 under job number 140865339, though the nature of this work requires further investigation. The owners have maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with records showing all inspections passed from 2010 through 2024, indicating effective pest management practices in this area, despite the bedbug reporting irregularities.
