133 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 7-story, 24-unit building at 133 West 17th Street in Chelsea, owned by Charles Stewart and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related problems in 2024, with two separate leak complaints (one involving heavy flow and another slow leak) in September-October 2024, followed by another water leak complaint in October 2024 that HPD was unable to inspect.
The building is currently facing several open Class A violations from a February 2023 inspection, including failure to properly post required safety and inspection notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and inspection certificate requirements in common areas. Additionally, a 2023 inspection identified a Class C violation regarding a door self-closing mechanism at the first story vestibule. The building has a documented history of plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly in 2021 when multiple emergency complaints were reported, including problems with toilets, tubs/showers, and unsanitary sewage conditions, all of which were subsequently closed.
Other maintenance matters in 2024-2025 have included paint/plaster issues and an electrical appliance concern from 2021, though no violations were issued for the latter. The property has maintained a good pest control record, with annual rodent inspections consistently passing since at least 2010, and bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations or eradications. Recent building permits from 2020-2023 indicate regular maintenance and upgrade work, with several being issued for plumbing (PL) and electrical work (EW) including new installations and repairs.
