219 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

This 68-unit, 6-story residential building located in Chelsea and owned by Alex Kuffel was constructed in 1939 and has maintained relatively stable conditions over the past years. The building has experienced several notable issues, with the most significant and recent concern being a 2022 facade safety violation that resulted in a $1,250 penalty for unauthorized removal of public protection from an unsafe facade. The property has documented multiple heating and hot water system issues, particularly affecting Apartment 6L, with violations recorded in 2018 and complaints in 2022.

Recent 311 service requests include an August 2022 appliance issue and a January 2022 heat/hot water complaint, both of which were resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows regular addressing of various compliance issues, with most complaints being resolved promptly. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2023 with no violations found regarding work without permits or facade compliance, though a 2022 sidewalk shed violation was documented.

The property has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three annual filings (2022-2025), and while there was one infestation reported in 2020-2021, it was marked as eradicated. All rodent inspections dating back to 2010 have passed, indicating effective vermin control. The building's maintenance records generally show prompt attention to issues as they arise, though the facade safety incident and heating system problems indicate areas requiring ongoing monitoring.
