157 West 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

157 West 24th Street in Chelsea is a 4-story two-family house owned by Jinsup An. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being the failure to conduct required external low-pressure inspections, which have accumulated violations from 2018 through 2024. These violations remain active and suggest a pattern of non-compliance with safety requirements.

The property has an active ECB violation from 2020 regarding inadequate construction housekeeping and three violations from 2020 related to an expired temporary construction fence and work done without a valid permit, each imposing penalties of $1,250. Recent inspections indicate ongoing pest control challenges, with failed rodent inspections in October and November 2024 - a significant shift from the building's previously consistent passing record between 2010-2019. The building's history shows multiple complaints regarding site conditions and construction-related issues, including worker safety concerns in 2019 and 2023.

Between 2019-2020, there were also violations regarding improper drainage, inadequate fencing, and construction work beyond approved plans. A notable building safety issue was documented in February 2018, when a piece of aluminum cladding was found hanging from the front facade at roof level. While there have been various complaints over the years, most were either closed with no violations found or resulted in oath violations being served to the responsible parties. The most recent active violations primarily relate to safety and maintenance compliance, suggesting an ongoing pattern of regulatory oversight issues.
