136 West 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 5-story, 7-unit building at 136 West 24th Street in Chelsea, owned by 136 Loft Corp and constructed in 1898, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, though some improvements have been noted. Most recently, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2023-2025, all of which passed. The property has maintained a notably clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported in the last five mandatory Bedbug Reports from 2021-2025.

However, there have been ongoing concerns about maintenance and compliance, including two active violations as of 2023-2024 related to sidewalk shed requirements and low pressure inspection filings. The building's recent history shows a pattern of addressable issues primarily relating to maintenance compliance rather than safety concerns. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding drainage issues and maintenance failures were filed in 2025, though inspections generally found no significant violations.

In 2021, there were also complaints about drainage problems and debris. An environmental violation from 2018 detailed facade and masonry deficiencies which resulted in a $1,000 penalty. The property has consistently filed timely Bedbug Reports showing no infestations, and all recent rodent inspections have passed successfully, suggesting active pest management. While there are several open violations as of 2024 regarding the sidewalk shed and external pressures, these appear to be primarily administrative rather than related to building safety or habitability.
