237 West 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 5-story, 4-unit building at 237 West 26th Street in Chelsea, owned by Kim Lawlor and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance events over the past decade. Most recently, in 2021 and 2020, the building faced some regulatory scrutiny, including a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection attempt in October 2020 in response to a rodent complaint, though inspectors were unable to access the property.

The building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings show no reported bedbug infestations in any units for the following three years (2021-2023). In terms of structural and safety compliance, the building had two Department of Buildings violations in 2020 and 2021, though both were dismissed by December 2022 after inspections confirmed that the defects had been corrected.

The property has a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with successful outcomes documented in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the initial violation in 2021, with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all four subsequent annual filings from 2022 through 2023.
