251 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 16-story mixed-use building at 251 West 30th Street in Chelsea, built in 1927 and currently owned by Gerard Nocera, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to the building's low-pressure system inspections, with violations issued in 2022-2024 for failure to file required inspections and reports, as well as a warning regarding unsafe facade conditions that remains active with a penalty of $1,280.

The building's boiler systems have been a recurring source of violations, with multiple citations in 2022 for various operational issues including poor oil burner performance and safety concerns, along with additional violations for missing rating tags. Recent maintenance history shows a cluster of complaints in 2020 regarding various building systems including ventilation, lighting, windows, and stairs, though these were subsequently closed.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building underwent several Local Law 188 compliance inspections, with most resulting in no violations being found, though there was one construction-related stop work order issued in 2023 that was fully rescinded. The building's bedbug reporting for the 2022-2023 period shows no infested units, and historical rodent inspections from 2010 to 2016 indicate consistently passing results. While there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding building systems and maintenance issues, many have been resolved or closed through appropriate actions, though several active violations remain, particularly concerning the building's low-pressure system compliance and boiler-related issues.
