237 West 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 237 West 19th Street in Chelsea, owned by Rosa Buitron, has an extensive history of regulatory violations and inspections dating back to 2018. Most notably, the building has recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building also faced multiple violations in 2018 regarding the posting of required safety and housing information notices, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides, though these were subsequently closed. While the building has maintained a generally good record in rodent inspections, passing all but one between 2017 and 2025, the single failure in June 2023 stands out as the only significant health-related compliance issue during this period.

The most recent inspections indicate some improvement in regulatory compliance, with the building successfully passing its rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, and showing no new violations related to building safety notices or requirements in the past two years. However, the persistent open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, which have remained unresolved for over four years, continue to be a noteworthy concern. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and history of violations suggest that while some regulatory compliance issues have been addressed, there are still ongoing challenges with maintaining adherence to current housing regulations, particularly in relation to pest management reporting requirements.
