141 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 48-unit, 6-story residential building at 141 West 16th Street in Chelsea, owned by Scott Goldenberg, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in late 2023, there were multiple complaints about heavy water leaks and mold issues, all of which were eventually closed after HPD intervention confirmed corrections were made.

Other recent concerns include a power outage in June 2023, with no violations found upon inspection, and a rat sighting in May 2023, which also passed inspection with no violations noted. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including a major heat and hot water incident affecting the entire building in March 2020, with restoration confirmed by tenants. Looking at historical data from recent years, apartment 2D has been the focus of several violations, including a 2020 citation for a mice infestation and 2018 violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building's common areas have also faced scrutiny, with violations issued in 2018 for fire door issues and electrical outlet covers. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug inspections, showing zero infested units in recent years (2024-2025 filings), and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, the persistent pattern of water-related issues and various safety concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally addressed violations when issued, as evidenced by the "Closed" status of most complaints, though some recent issues have required multiple service requests before resolution.
