Augrented Insights Report for 136 West 28th Street

The five-story Old Law tenement building at 136 West 28th Street in Chelsea, owned by Frank Ng, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in 2025, particularly related to water and plumbing problems. Between June 3 and June 18, 2025, there were multiple reports of water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), plumbing issues involving bathtubs/showers, and unsanitary conditions including mold, with some cases resulting in housing violations requiring owner correction.

The building has an active complaint regarding illegal conversion as of June 2025, and recent inspections have revealed ongoing concerns about heating and water systems, with open violations noted in apartments 15E (hot water issues) and 22E (heating issues) dating from December 2024. Historical records indicate significant structural and maintenance challenges, including a potentially serious facade issue in 2023 when approximately 2'-0" x 3'-0" section of decorative arch window bricks was reported as dislodged and loose. The building also has a history of water-related problems, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations documented in 2025 alone.

Earlier records from 2019 show several rodent inspection failures, though subsequent inspections in 2020 through 2022 passed. The building's mechanical systems have been under scrutiny, with violations noted regarding boiler inspection requirements and structural stability concerns, though some of these violations have been resolved or dismissed. Regular tenant safety inspections have resulted in various findings, including a period of work without proper permits being investigated in early 2025.
