240 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

240 West 22nd Street in Chelsea is a four-story, three-unit building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Bruce Baughman. The property has experienced recurring pest control issues over the past several years, most notably in 2020 when residents reported unsanitary conditions related to pests, prompting intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While the building received violations in both 2021 and 2022 for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, more recent records suggest improved conditions, with the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 showing no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units between November 2023 and October 2024. The building's rodent inspection history shows significant improvement over time. Following a report of rat activity in August 2019, the property consistently passed subsequent inspections, including all six inspections conducted between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status.

This suggests effective management of rodent issues in recent years. The property has maintained a current bedbug reporting schedule as of 2025, with all recent filings indicating zero infestation cases. The transition from documented pest issues to consistently passed rodent inspections and clean bedbug reports over the past three years indicates improved pest management practices, though the building's historical issues warrant continued monitoring of pest control measures and resident reporting systems.
