Augrented Insights Report for 208 West 23rd Street

The 16-story building at 208 West 23rd Street in Chelsea, owned by Richard Mason, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2023. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a pest-related complaint that HPD could not inspect, along with a window frame violation issued to Apartment 406 in June 2024. Between November 2023 and August 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water issues and unsanitary conditions, particularly involving pests, though some of these inspections resulted in no violations being found.

The building, constructed in 1927 and containing 262 units, has a history of various maintenance challenges. In 2021, there were multiple inspections and violations related to fire escape safety and smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance in Apartment 808. The Department of Buildings records show several active violations as of 2023-2024, including a failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. Additionally, while there have been periodic bedbug reports between 2019 and 2024, the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) shows no infested units.

The building has generally passed rodent inspections since 2021, with the exception of one failed inspection in June 2023. The property has faced various regulatory challenges, including multiple complaints and violations related to safety and maintenance requirements between 2019-2021, with some complaints about illegal conversions and failure to maintain proper safety equipment. Several ECB violations from 2021 remain active, related to failure to comply with previous orders regarding maintenance conditions. Recent permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance work, with several exterior work permits issued between 2019 and 2022 for the building located at this Chelsea address.
