138 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 10-story, 8-unit residential building at 138 West 17th Street in Chelsea, owned by Jerry Edelman, has exhibited several notable events and maintenance patterns since 2020. Most recently, the building received an active unsafe façade notification in March 2024 (complaint #1663751), and as of October 2025, there were no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, with the latest bedbug report filed in June 2025 showing zero infested units.
The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2010 through October 2024 showing compliance. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving four Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were properly closed upon compliance. Between 2019 and 2022, there were several Department of Buildings violations related to a specific issue identified in May 2020, though these were ultimately resolved.
The building experienced a gas utility referral complaint in 2019 that was inspected and found to have no violations. Two elevator work permits were issued in 2019 (job #123462859), suggesting maintenance of building systems is being addressed appropriately. The most significant current concern is the active unsafe façade notification from 2024, which remains unresolved.
