213 West 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

213 West 18th Street is a 5-story, 40-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chelsea and built in 1920, currently owned by Sal Radoncic. The property has experienced several recurring issues over the past year, most notably a cluster of four heavy water leak complaints between July and August 2024, all classified as emergencies, though no violations were found upon inspection. In December 2023, there was a heat and hot water complaint regarding the entire building that HPD could not fully investigate due to access issues, and in 2019, there was a similar heat/hot water complaint for an individual apartment that was resolved per tenant report.

The building has one open Class C violation from December 2023 concerning defective self-closing doors at the 1st floor public hall, though this issue has been subsequently addressed. The Department of Buildings has conducted various inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passing with no violations. Historical records from 2018 show an ECB violation regarding elevator maintenance issues (resolved with a $625 penalty).

The building has maintained a clean bedbug report record since 2021, with all annual filings showing zero infested units. While there were two bedbug-related violations issued in 2022, these appear to be administrative in nature regarding reporting requirements rather than indicating an actual infestation. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the last documented bait application occurring in 2016, suggesting effective pest control management.
