143 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
143 West 20th Street is a 12-story, 13-unit commercial altered-class A building located in Chelsea, built in 1909 and currently owned by Edward Stein. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with building safety standards over recent years, with rodent inspections showing passing results from 2010 through 2024, and no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual reports since 2019. Recent significant events include a 2024 incident involving facade work where a window sill section fell during operations, leading to two Environmental Control Board violations - one with a $25,000 penalty that was subsequently resolved.
The elevator system underwent necessary updates in 2020 following violations related to missing door lock monitoring features, for which penalties were paid. The building's recent maintenance history shows attention to regulatory requirements, though there were some compliance challenges. In 2023, a notice of violation was issued regarding the failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection, and in early 2021, violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations were recorded, though these were later dismissed.
A sanitation-related complaint regarding animal odor was investigated by DOHMH in 2024 but resulted in no violations. The property has maintained active annual bedbug reporting with zero infestations recorded in the most recent two filing periods (2023-2024, 2024-2025). Recent building permits from 2021 and 2022 suggest ongoing maintenance and improvements are being carried out as required.
