146 West 28th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

146 West 28th Street is a 7-story, 18-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1910 in Chelsea, currently owned by Kyuheung Park. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems. Most notably, in November 2019, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water issues, along with plumbing problems that required HPD intervention, though no violations were ultimately issued.

A cluster of maintenance issues was documented in October 2018, primarily affecting Apartment 3E, including interior problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, flooring concerns, and door-related issues, which resulted in several violations that were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected between December 2018 and January 2019. Recent building safety and maintenance activities include ongoing compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing no enforcement action required. The building has had some structural concerns documented, particularly in July 2021 when cracks were observed in the cellar-level concrete floor and water accumulation near the elevator.

The building's facade maintenance has been an ongoing requirement, as evidenced by multiple active violations regarding facade inspections and reporting requirements. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five years, and rodent inspections from 2010-2012 consistently showed passing results. While there have been several violations and maintenance issues documented over the years, the majority have been addressed and closed, with the building regularly undergoing required inspections and maintaining compliance with most regulatory requirements. The property has shown responsiveness to violations when they are documented, typically resolving issues within the timelines provided by enforcement agencies.
