226 West 20th Street is an 8-story, 52-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Brian Moriarty. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple ongoing complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems. As of April 2025, there are open complaints related to wall maintenance and pest issues, following a pattern of problems with insects and sanitation dating back to March 2025.
The building's heating and hot water systems have been a consistent source of tenant complaints, with several emergency calls about inadequate service between 2024-2025, though some were closed without access inspections being completed. The building has active violations regarding exterior wall maintenance that date back over two years, including a Cycle 9A report issue from February 2022 and a current violation concerning swarm conditions from August 2024. There are significant outstanding maintenance needs in apartment 3D, including multiple violations related to plumbing, plaster surfaces, smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and door self-closing mechanisms, all from a September 2024 inspection that remain unresolved.
Historical complaints show a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance issues, including past elevator and boiler problems. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025, previous years showed some failures, indicating fluctuating pest management conditions. Notably, during 2021-2022, there was one documented case of bedbug infestation affecting two units, though subsequent annual reports (2022-2024) show no reported infestations.
