135 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
135 West 17th Street is an 8-story, 14-unit commercial-altered Class A building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by James Tanaka. The property has experienced several notable events over the past five years, with particular attention to safety and maintenance issues. Most recently, in 2024, there was a housing maintenance code violation related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though this was marked as closed.
The building has undergone multiple tenant safety inspections, particularly in 2019-2021, with some inspections revealing violations related to proper notice distribution and elevator safety features. In 2020, a significant elevator safety violation was documented regarding door lock monitoring requirements, though this was subsequently resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024, indicating effective pest control measures.
Bedbug-related compliance has been regular, with the most recent reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units. Three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued in January 2021, concerning the failure to post and distribute tenant protection plans and the Safe Construction Bill of Rights, with penalties totaling $10,625, though these were eventually resolved. The elevator system appears to be a recurring focus for maintenance attention, with multiple work permits issued between 2019-2021 for various repairs and upgrades, including an open active violation from 2019 regarding uncorrected defects from a 2017 inspection/test.
