Augrented Insights Report for 234 West 20th Street

The 6-story, 9-unit building at 234 West 20th Street in Chelsea, constructed in 1929, is currently facing ongoing rodent issues, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 consistently showing "Rat Activity" despite multiple bait applications beginning February 2024. The building has experienced significant pest problems, with multiple rodent-related complaints through 2022-2024, including documented sightings and a Housing Maintenance Code violation in Apartment 3B for a mice infestation. The property has also faced several maintenance and safety compliance challenges, particularly in 2021-2022, including violations related to tenant safety postings, construction notices, and building maintenance requirements.

Three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 remain open, concerning various safety notification requirements, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector information. While bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 consistently show no infested units, the building's persistent rodent problems and outstanding safety compliance issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's recent history includes several "no violation" findings for tenant safety inspections and illegal hotel room complaints, indicating some compliance with basic safety requirements.

However, two active Environmental Control Board violations from late 2021 remain notable, related to failure to properly post and distribute tenant protection information and observed maintenance issues in Apartment 5B. Between 2021 and 2022, the building underwent multiple inspections for various complaints, including tenant safety violations, after-hours work complaints, and drainage issues. The most recent inspection data indicates that while there have been some periods of bait application success (as shown in early 2024), the recurring identification of rat activity persists to the present day, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 confirming ongoing rodent presence.
