240 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

240 West 20th Street is a historic 4-story, 10-unit residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jonathan Wertenteil. The building's maintenance history shows recent concerns about garbage and recycling storage conditions, with a complaint filed in December 2024 that remained unresolved until July 2025, despite indications of correction.

The property has a notable violation history from 2018, including two Environmental Control Board violations related to improper final inspection filings for completed work under expired permits from 2013, though one was resolved with a $625 penalty. Regular bedbug inspections from 2018 through the present show no infestations or related issues, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, except for one instance in May 2018 when rat activity was reported. The building's documented maintenance history reflects some ongoing challenges with waste management as of mid-2025, though this appears to be an isolated issue compared to the overall stable condition of the property.

The lack of bedbug incidents over the last seven reporting periods and the consistent passage of rodent inspections suggest effective pest management practices. The 2018 violations regarding permit inspection compliance represent the most significant regulatory issue on record, though these were addressed through the appropriate channels. The building's historical and recent data indicate active management with regular compliance inspections, though prospective tenants should note the recent waste management concerns.
