266 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

Located in Chelsea, 266 West 23rd Street is a 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Albert Oukaine. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2019, with three separate emergency complaints filed in March, November, and December - though in each case, heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time of inspection. More recently, there was a rodent sighting reported in June 2025, though this was investigated and found to have no violations.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2017, with the most recent conducted in June 2025. The building has undergone several inspections and violations over the past few years. In 2024, a C-class violation was recorded regarding a door device preventing self-closing at the main entrance.

A 2019 bedbug inspection showed no infestations, and subsequent annual reports (2021-2023) confirmed no infestation or eradication cases. The property faced multiple violations in November 2019, primarily concerning maintenance issues in the public hallways on the 3rd and 4th stories, including water leaks and fire safety concerns, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed. Notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation regarding the elevator's failure to file a Category 1 Annual Inspection/Testing report from 2017, which remains unresolved as of 2019.
