128 West 26Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 14-story residential building at 128 West 26th Street in Chelsea, owned by David Zahabian, was completed in 2021 and contains 13 units. The building's recent history shows some ongoing concerns regarding unauthorized work, with two complaints in May 2025 about "Work Without a Permit" in occupied multiple dwellings, one of which resulted in an inspector's inability to gain access.

Prior to this, there was an elevator-related complaint in September 2024, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building experienced several regulatory interactions during its initial years, including construction safety compliance actions in 2022 that led to one oath violation being served and two stop work orders that were ultimately rescinded.

Notably, the property has faced two significant violations: one in December 2021 for failing to perform a Category 5 inspection (dismissed in September 2023), and another in February 2021 for not certifying corrections on an immediately hazardous violation (dismissed in March 2021). On a positive note, the building's bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infestations, with zero units affected or requiring eradication. The building's overall record suggests a typical pattern of compliance issues during its initial years of operation, with most violations being addressed and dismissed through proper channels, though recent complaints regarding unpermitted work warrant attention.
