Augrented Insights Report for 163 West 21st Street

163 West 21st Street is a 15-story, 110-unit Class A apartment building in Chelsea, constructed in 2005 and owned by 155 W. 21st St. LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple tenant complaints about heat and hot water problems throughout 2024 and into early 2025, including six emergency complaints between November 2024 and February 2025.

More recently, in early 2025, there were complaints about sewage issues that HPD was unable to inspect. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests in late 2024, though no bedbug infestations have been reported since 2020. A significant plumbing issue was addressed in April 2024, and a drinking water-related complaint was investigated in August 2024 with no violations found. The building's maintenance record shows some structural and safety concerns, including two Class C violations from 2021 regarding damaged wood flooring in apartment 9I, and 2023-2024 violations related to self-closing doors and storage area access.

Historical records show facade maintenance issues in 2018-2019, with violations related to balcony slabs and safety measures during facade work. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections since 2011, there were instances of rat activity noted in 2011 and 2014. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting, showing no infestations since 2020, and has complied with rodent control measures as evidenced by recent inspections. The building's management has resolved several issues and violations through proper channels, though there have been recurring problems with heating systems and some access-related inspection difficulties.
