109 West 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 11-story, 13-unit building at 109 West 26th Street in Chelsea, owned by Divya Rashad, has a significant history of building code compliance issues and violations since 2018. The property has been subject to multiple active and closed complaints regarding compliance with Local Law 188/17, most recently recorded in April 2024, suggesting ongoing oversight or inspection requirements.

Notable environmental control board violations in 2021 highlighted serious maintenance and compliance issues, including failures to maintain exterior walls and appurtenances, with penalties totaling $3,750. Additional active violations from the same period indicate noncompliance with required critical examination reports of exterior walls and building systems, with penalties totaling $21,000. A building violation from 2019 regarding failure to perform a Category 5 inspection was dismissed.

The building's recent maintenance record shows no infestations of bedbugs over the past several years (as evidenced by reports from 2019 through 2024), and passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Multiple permits have been issued between 2018 and 2022 for various work types, including electrical and plumbing work, though specific details on the nature of these projects are not included in the available data. The property has experienced several inspection-related issues, including one instance of work without a permit and construction contrary to approved plans in 2021, though inspections did not warrant violations in all cases.
