244 West 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
244 West 21st Street is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1944 and currently owned by Florence Goldsmith. The building has experienced several code violations and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being an open Class B violation from 2020 requiring the installation of three extra sprinkler heads and a suitable wrench for emergency purposes in the cellar front area, which remains unresolved as of 2025.
Between 2019 and 2024, multiple safety-related violations were addressed and closed, including the need for self-closing doors between sections at the 6th-story public hall and at the roof stair bulkhead. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations in any of the six filing periods, indicating effective pest management. The property's health and safety record shows a generally improving trend, particularly regarding rodent management, with the most recent inspections from 2019-2025 consistently passing, except for one failed inspection in 2018 that led to a DOHMH mouse sighting complaint.
The building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements through regular inspections. Several maintenance issues have been documented, including a 2020 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, though most previous violations related to safety measures have been addressed and closed. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations and the regular filing of required documentation, though the continuing open sprinkler system violation represents a notable exception.
