196 7th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
212 W. 22 Realty LLC owns this 77-unit, 6-story Class A building constructed in 1940 in Chelsea. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concern being an open Department of Health complaint from June 2025 regarding possible food establishment violations.
In 2024-2025, there was a flooring issue that HPD was unable to inspect fully, while previous concerns included a ceiling plaster problem (2023), electrical/gas range issues (2022), and multiple instances of pest-related complaints from 2018-2019, though most of these inspections found no violations. The building's safety systems have been generally maintained, with all rodent inspections since 2019 resulting in passing grades, except for one instance in mid-2023 showing rat activity. Recent years have seen some regulatory infractions, including 2019 violations for blocking fire escape egress with flower pots and not properly posting gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently resolved.
During 2020-2021, there were several construction-related complaints and violations, including issues with security gates and awnings, though inspections often found no immediate violations. The building has shown some ongoing challenges with bedbug management, particularly in 2024 when three units required treatment, though prior records from 2022-2023 showed fewer incidents. Regular inspections and permits indicate that while the building experiences recurring maintenance issues, most are addressed through proper channels, with recent records showing improved compliance with pest control protocols and building maintenance requirements.
