229 7th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
This 18-story Class A apartment building in Chelsea, owned by Steven Girgenti and completed in 1987, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were complaints regarding door/window and intercom system problems, though inspections found no violations. Earlier concerns included a heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building in October 2022, and a drinking water-related issue the same month that required further investigation by DOHMH.
A cluster of maintenance issues was reported in March 2022, including problems with windows, lighting, flooring, and cabinets, but all were subsequently inspected and no violations were issued. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple citations related to elevator safety between 2018-2020, including issues with door lock monitoring and maintenance requirements, though these violations were resolved. A series of DOB violations related to energy report submissions was recorded from 2019-2024, though most were subsequently dismissed. The elevator system has required continued attention, with violations noted in 2020 regarding brake systems and monitoring equipment.
Recent construction activity prompted complaints in 2023 about illegal after-hours work and site conditions, though inspections found no violations. Notably, the building reported minimal bedbug activity in recent years, with only two infestations recorded in 2020-2021. Regular rodent inspections from 2019 to 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures. The property has maintained active permit issuance for plumbing and other work throughout 2023-2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements are being carried out under proper oversight.
