Augrented Insights Report for 274 West 19th Street

The 25-unit, 6-story tenement building at 274 West 19th Street in Chelsea, owned by Mark Scharfman and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring mold problems, with the latest report in June 2025 being marked as an emergency complaint that HPD was unable to inspect. Between late 2024 and mid-2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding door/window issues and smoke detector problems, all of which HPD inspectors were unable to access for proper inspection.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, particularly in November 2024 with multiple toilet complaints, and a heat/hot water issue in December 2024. Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in late 2024 for safety concerns including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices in apartment 5C. The building's history shows previous concerns with egress and safety systems, including a 2019 violation for an obstructed exit passageway and a 2024 failure to maintain the front entrance door.

Between 2019 and 2024, there have been several rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in January 2023 showing rat activity, though a passing inspection was recorded in October 2024. The building has maintained a record of regular bedbug filings from 2019 to present, with most recent filings showing no infested units between 2021-2025. Other notable incidents include an illegal conversion complaint in October 2024 that inspectors were unable to access, and a work without permit violation in 2022 related to a cellar partition wall. The building has undergone various plumbing-related work as evidenced by permits issued in 2019-2020, though specific details of these improvements are not provided in the summary data.
