123 West 28th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

123 West 28th Street is an 18-story residential building completed in 2012 in Chelsea, currently owned by Manuel Gahona. The building has experienced recurring issues with pest management and regulatory compliance over the years. Most recently, as of April 2024 and March 2023, the building has open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

These violations follow a series of similar infractions from 2021-2022. A significant 311 complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests was filed in late 2020 but could not be investigated due to lack of access. The building's Department of Buildings record shows several violations related to energy compliance, including a December 2021 failure to display energy efficiency scores, though this was dismissed in February 2022.

Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple instances of late or unfiled energy benchmarking reports, with the most recent being dismissed in November 2020. The building's rodent inspection history shows initial rat activity in December 2012, though subsequent inspections that same month and earlier inspections in 2011 and 2010 passed. While there have been violations and compliance issues, particularly regarding pest management and energy reporting, the building has taken steps to address these through various means, including providing certifications and submitting required documentation when violations were issued. The most recent bedbug report from 2022 showed no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during the 2020-2021 filing period, though this may not fully represent current conditions given the open violations for failure to file annual reports.
