258 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

258 West 22nd Street is a 5-story, 39-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Justin Hollander. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most significant being the improper installation of commercial gas dryers in 2023, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling over $10,000 in penalties. These violations, related to unpermitted installations and lack of required automatic sprinkler systems, were subsequently dismissed in July 2024 after payment of penalties.

The building has also faced structural concerns, with complaints about building shaking and vibrating in December 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access on one occasion and found no violations on another inspection. Additional maintenance issues have been reported, including plumbing problems in April 2023 (resulting in an Oath Violation) and multiple complaints about flooring in 2024, though no violations were issued in these cases. The property has maintained a generally solid record in terms of pest control, with annual bedbug reports consistently showing zero infested units between 2018 and 2024, and rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 passing regularly.

The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements being documented, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020 for various types of work, including electrical and plumbing-related projects. While there have been several violations noted through the Department of Buildings, most have been resolved or dismissed, with the exception of a currently active violation related to the 2023 low pressure inspection that remains open as of the most recent records. The building has established a pattern of addressing most maintenance issues promptly, though some recent incidents related to unpermitted work and improper installations have raised concerns about compliance with building codes and regulations.
