263 West 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
263 West 19th Street is a 5-story old law tenement building located in Chelsea, containing 16 units and constructed in 1901, currently owned by Zohar Ben-dov. The building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, most notably concerning mold and pest issues. In 2023, significant mold violations were documented in apartment 5W, affecting both the kitchen and bathroom windows, while previous instances of mold were reported in 2020 in apartment 2W, which also experienced mouse infestation that year.
The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with rat activity reported in both 2021 and 2022, though inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed passed results. A food establishment complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage was filed in July 2023, while earlier health-related incidents included a food poisoning complaint in 2019 and a mold complaint in 2020. The property has undergone some improvements, as evidenced by the issuance of multiple open work permits between 2018-2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair efforts.
Recent inspections have shown some positive developments, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and the most recent rodent inspections (June 2025 and August 2024) passed without major issues. However, the building's history indicates persistent challenges with moisture control, pest management, and building maintenance, particularly affecting apartments 2W and 5W. The combination of past and present violations related to mold, rodent activity, and various health-related complaints suggests an ongoing need for proactive building management and maintenance.
