261 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
261 West 22nd Street, a 6-story, 36-unit residential building in Chelsea built in 1917, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024. Two active violations were issued regarding the building's facade, noting stepped cracks, missing mortar joints, and defective mortar conditions, with penalties imposed. These violations were classified as immediately hazardous, requiring urgent repairs and public safety measures.
The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about pest infestations between 2020 and 2022, including a specific citation for mice infestation in Apartment 23 issued in December 2022. The building's systems have experienced recurring problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, though most recent inspections have shown consistent passing results for rodent control. Recent inspections in 2023-2024 have continued to show the building passing rodent inspections, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods (2019-2025).
Additional historical issues include door-related complaints in early 2021, indoor air quality concerns in September 2021, and various general maintenance matters. The property has maintained its registration requirements and undergone regular inspections, with all previous bedbug control and rodent prevention programs showing compliance. Recent complaints regarding building shaking/vibration and failure to maintain conditions were closed in late 2024, though the current status of these complaints is not specified in the available records.
