Augrented Insights Report for 240 West 23rd Street

The 8-story building at 240 West 23rd Street in Chelsea, owned by Helen Mayers, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns around water-related problems and mold. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of water leaks documented between 2020 and 2023, with the most recent being a heat and hot water complaint in January 2025 that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) couldn't fully investigate due to access issues.

The building has also faced multiple instances of mold problems, with emergency complaints filed in October 2023 and February 2024, though HPD inspections did not result in violations. More recent developments include two open violations from May 2024 related to building safety notices: one concerning an infestation of roaches in apartment 1B, and another regarding the improper posting of inspection certificates.

As of 2025, there are active concerns related to the building's compliance with Local Law 188/17 regarding inspection requirements. The building's infrastructure has seen attention in terms of various repairs and systems maintenance, though specific issues beyond the documented violations are not detailed in the records. Throughout its recent history, the building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with all passing results, and shows no documented history of bedbug infestations in the past seven report periods.
