213 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

213 West 23rd Street is an 11-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Steven Ostner. The building's most significant recent issues have centered around its pool and sauna facilities, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints in early 2024, though notably, inspections during this period resulted in no violations being cited in four of the eight complaints.

The building has faced several regulatory challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in 2018 related to required safety signage and notices, many of which remain open. There have also been recurring issues with the building's external maintenance requirements, including multiple violations in 2023 related to external low-pressure inspections that were ultimately dismissed. The property has undergone various inspections and received permits for maintenance work over the years, with all recent rodent inspections (2023-2025) showing compliance.

Historical complaints reveal past concerns about water supply systems (2018), and multiple sidewalk shed/ scaffold-related issues (2019-2022), including safety violations and inadequate pedestrian protection that resulted in Oath violations. The building's bedbug reporting record for the past eight years shows no infestations, and all recent inspections have passed basic health and safety requirements. While the building has faced various compliance challenges over the years, including issues with its pool facilities and safety signage, recent records indicate improved maintenance practices, with no active violations related to common pest issues and consistent rodent inspection compliance.
