228 West 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 5-story, 9-unit building at 228 West 21st Street in Chelsea, currently owned by Joe Deblasio, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent issues with standing water, particularly on the roof, with multiple complaints recorded between April 2024 and 2025, including containers holding over 5 gallons of water.
The most recent of these incidents in April 2025 resulted in the owner receiving a summons from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with follow-up inspections scheduled. The building has also faced rodent control issues, with three non-compliant inspections for rat activity documented between late 2022 and early 2023, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with all filings between 2019 and 2025 (including the most recent filing in February 2025) consistently showing zero infested units, suggesting effective monitoring and prevention efforts.
While the building received violations for not filing annual bedbug reports in 2022, 2023, and 2024, these appear to have been resolved as per subsequent filings. An egress complaint filed in July 2021 regarding locked/blocked exits was investigated but found no violations. Regular inspections and subsequent compliance checks indicate ongoing management of pest control, though the recurring nature of water-related complaints suggests an unresolved infrastructure issue.
