245 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001
245 West 25th Street is a 6-story, 67-unit Class A residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Stephanie Knight. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in June 2024 involving problems with doors, windows, walls, ceilings, flooring, plumbing, and pest control. While Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections were conducted for these complaints, no violations were ultimately issued.
The building has a significant history of entrance and vestibule door issues, including violations in 2024 and 2023 related to self-closing mechanisms, as well as a 2023 violation for obstructed fire escape egress. Other notable historical concerns include pest infestations (with a violation for roaches in 2023) and multiple bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024 that have shown zero infested units during inspections. The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 regarding occupancy issues, and a 2018 violation for failing to post required heating system access information.
There have been three complaints about illegal conversions/uses between 2019-2021 that were either dismissed or resulted in violation notices. Rodent inspections indicate some past issues with rat activity in 2019, though more recent inspections (2024) have passed. The building has also accumulated several energy efficiency-related violations between 2020-2021 regarding benchmarking and score display requirements, though these were eventually dismissed. The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, suggesting improved pest management practices, and the building's recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations, indicating successful management of this previous concern.
