219 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building at 219 West 20th Street in Chelsea, owned by Joseph Lentini, has shown generally good maintenance over the past several years, though there have been some notable incidents. The building, constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responding to a mouse sighting complaint in April 2019 and a "Failure to Maintain" complaint investigated in October 2023 that resulted in no violations.

The property has demonstrated an active approach to pest control, with regular rodent inspections showing consistent compliance between 2019-2025, though there was one failed inspection in July 2024 for unspecified reasons. The building's bedbug reports from 2019 through the most recent 2024 filing period have been reassuring, showing minimal activity with only one infested unit reported in 2017-2018 which was eradicated, followed by five consecutive years with no reported infestations.

Despite the historical presence of both rodent and bedbug issues, the property's recent record indicates improved management, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing successfully, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years. The building's inspection history shows regular monitoring and attention to compliance requirements, though the one failed rodent inspection in July 2024 suggests some ongoing challenges in maintaining pest control standards.
