Augrented Insights Report for 229 West 20th Street

229 West 20th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit old law tenement building located in Chelsea and owned by Daniel Hochberg, dating back to 1901. Recent health and safety concerns have emerged in 2024, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, along with significant pest-related problems, particularly involving an infestation in apartment 4C that triggered both violation notices and multiple HPD inspections between May and December 2024. The building has faced recurring pest issues throughout 2024, with several inspections failing to gain access, though some were resolved without violations.

Late 2024 saw several heat-related complaints, with one for the entire building in November 2024 that could not be inspected due to access issues. The building's safety compliance has been under scrutiny, with multiple violations issued during 2024, particularly pertaining to fire safety equipment and building signage requirements, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by September 2024. Historic records show some concerning patterns, including a 2024 rodent inspection failure in August 2024 and another failed inspection in June 2024, though the most recent June 2025 inspection passed.

The building has had three tenant safety inspections in 2023 (April, June, and July), all resulting in no violations. Previous records from 2019-2022 indicate generally good compliance with safety inspections, with no significant violations noted during those periods. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2022, with no reported cases in the past three years, though earlier records from 2018-2019 indicate some past activity. The property has consistently undergone regular inspections and maintained a mostly responsive record to violation notices, with most recent violations being addressed according to certification requirements.
