130 West 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 130 West 26th Street building in Chelsea, owned by Zachary Perlman, is a 7-story mixed residential/artists building with 6 units, constructed in 1912. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant occurring in 2021, when there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat/hot water problems, cooking gas issues, and mold (particularly affecting 7th floor apartment). These violations were ultimately resolved, though there was a notable pattern of emergency complaints during 2021.

More recent inspections in 2023 revealed two significant violations regarding self-closing doors at the 1st story vestibule, though these were certified as corrected by April 2023. The building has maintained a generally good record with regard to pests, with the most recent bedbug report from 2024 showing zero infested units, and previous years' reports (2019-2023) also indicating no infestations after an initial incident in 2017-2018. Rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2024, including the most recent in October 2024, have consistently resulted in "Passed" outcomes, with only one failure for "Other Reasons" noted in 2017.

The property has experienced several infrastructure-related complaints over the years, including issues with the boiler system in 2021 (resulting in a $625 violation), concerns about building shaking, and safety inspections. However, most recent complaint categories, such as for building safety net/guard rail and Local Law 188 compliance, have shown no violations. Three units had bedbug infestations in 2017-2018, but these were eradicated promptly.
