231 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

231 West 25th Street is a 6-story, 69-unit residential building constructed in 1961 and currently owned by Nathaniel Rahav. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, particularly evident between December 2022 and March 2023, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. These heating problems spurred emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations, though most were subsequently closed following restoration of services.

The building's elevator system has also required attention, with violations noted in 2022 regarding improper installation of fireman's service and inadequate leveling. The property has faced several significant safety-related issues. In late 2022, violations were issued regarding fire escape conditions and building facade safety, resulting in a $10,000 penalty for inadequate safety measures.

A more recent building inspection in October 2024 passed, though there was a rodent sighting reported in November 2024. Historical complaints include issues with building egress, unauthorized after-hours work, and concerns about potential illegal hotel rooms, though most of these complaints either showed no violation or inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past six years, with zero reported infestations or eradication efforts documented through the Bedbug Reporting system.
