220 West 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

220 West 21st Street is a 7-story, 35-unit Old Law Tenement building in Chelsea, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Felix Bernardo. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with particular concern around documentation and inspection requirements.

Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to the property's Failure to File requirements, including a FISP Cycle 8B Technical Report (2018), Benchmarking Report of Energy Use (2019), and Category 5 Inspection (2019), though a recent June 2023 violation for Failure to File 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection was dismissed. The building's elevator system was inspected in May 2019 with no violations found, despite a complaint about lack of alternate service.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2018-2025), and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed successfully, though there was one failed inspection in May 2018 for "Other Reasons." The building experienced a heating and hot water issue in December 2021 that was promptly addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Two Environmental Control Board violations were recorded in 2018 and 2021 related to the failure to submit required Cycle 8B reports for exterior wall examinations, with the more recent violation being resolved with no penalty imposed. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to compliance matters, though the persistence of certain violations suggests ongoing challenges with documentation and reporting requirements.
