261 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

261 West 25th Street is a 12-story, 49-unit residential building located in Chelsea, owned by David Rappaport and completed in 2014. The building is currently facing multiple active violations with the Department of Buildings, primarily related to failure to submit required reports.

These include an unpaid Fine Structure and Inspections Program (FISP) Cycle 9A Technical Report that was due in February 2022, and six consecutive violations between 2019-2022 for failing to file the mandatory Benchmarking Report of Energy Use as per Administrative Code Section 28-309.4. While there have been some resolved violations from February 2019, which were dismissed based on subsequent reports showing corrected defects, these ongoing compliance issues warrant attention.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained a strong record of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the eight most recent annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. Additionally, the property has passed all initial rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2024, demonstrating effective management of vermin control measures. The building's relatively recent construction date (2014) and consistent pest control and rodent management compliance suggest general good maintenance practices, though the active violations related to reporting requirements indicate some challenges with regulatory compliance.
