229 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The building at 229 West 22nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit converted Class A structure built in 1910 and currently owned by Sean Macpherson. The property has experienced persistent heating and plumbing issues in recent years, with multiple tenant complaints in 2025 regarding heat/hot water (January-February) and a currently open plumbing complaint from March 2025 concerning sink issues. These problems appear to be ongoing, as evidenced by the same heating complaints recurring in January 2025 and similar issues reported in December 2024, when multiple emergency violations were issued for various infrastructure problems including water supply, mold, and safety equipment deficiencies (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors).

The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, including a currently open violation for mouse infestation in Apartment 1A as of December 2024. The property's regulatory history includes several notable inspections and violations between 2019 and 2025, such as issues with emergency work permit compliance in 2020, multiple instances of work without proper permits, and various safety code violations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, it has experienced historical challenges with rodent and pest control, as indicated by multiple failed inspections in 2019.

The property has maintained its bedbug-free status with no reported infestations in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). Though some structural and safety violations documented in 2024 have been resolved through appropriate corrections, including door repairs and removal of encumbrances, the recurring nature of heating and plumbing complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history of regulatory violations includes multiple instances of emergency violations requiring immediate attention, though most have been subsequently resolved through corrective actions or compliance measures.
