270 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

270 West 25th Street is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building in Chelsea, built in 1930 and currently owned by Kemal Cari. The building has a notable history of heat and hot water issues, with four complaints in 2024 (most recently in October), four in 2023 (most recently in December), and several earlier complaints dating back to 2021-2022. HPD inspections during these complaints generally could not gain access to apartments for verification.

Recent building concerns include three Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 regarding terraces with cracks, an unregistered boiler with missing spill switches, and failure to comply with a commissioner's order related to terrace conditions, with penalties totaling $3,750. The building experienced boiler-related complaints in early 2024, received Oath Violations, and underwent inspections that identified several maintenance issues. The elevator system had a complaint in 2023 regarding single device operation, though no violations were found at inspection. The property has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, passing all but one since 2018, with a rat activity finding in June 2024.

There have been no recorded bedbug cases or infestations in the past eight years, with all annual reports showing zero affected units. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to door/window issues, with multiple inspections in 2021-2023 finding no violations. Other building systems, including the ventilation/exhaust systems, have been subject to various complaints and inspections, with some violations noted in 2018-2019. The property's mechanical systems, particularly the heating and hot water infrastructure, have been a persistent source of complaints, with tenants frequently unable to provide access for inspections.
