224 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
224 West 20th Street is a four-story, one-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1901 in NYC's Chelsea neighborhood, currently owned by Drew Popkin. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues, with a recent unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests filed in January 2025, though this complaint was closed without resolution due to lack of access for inspection.
The property has consistently failed to comply with the annual bedbug reporting requirement between 2021 and 2023, though more recent reports for 2023-24 indicate no documented infestations, with the filing showing zero infested, re-infested, or eradicated units. The building's maintenance history shows both compliance and non-compliance issues, with rodent inspections revealing rat activity in 2021 and 2023, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) records from 2023-2024 indicate several complaints and violations, including concerns about unauthorized plumbing work, construction beyond approved plans, and various safety-related issues, though many of these complaints were found to have no violations warranting further action upon inspection. More recently, between 2024 and 2025, the building has maintained passing rodent inspection results. The property owner has responded to recent violations, including one from 2024 regarding improper exterior insulation installation, which was resolved, and a plumbing violation from October 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation being served.
