130 West 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

130 West 30th Street is a 19-story, 45-unit Class A residential building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Joel Davis. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past three years, with multiple complaints in 2022-2023 indicating inadequate service to both individual apartments and the entire building. Notably, a Class C violation was issued in August 2023 specifically concerning inadequate hot water in Apartment 19A, while a March 2023 violation addressed self-closing door issues in Apartment 16A.

The property has also exhibited persistent sanitation concerns, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints recorded throughout 2023 that, while inspected and found not to warrant violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's recent history shows some improvements in safety compliance, with several violations from 2021-2022 being resolved, including those related to building entrance requirements and safety postings. A significant exterior maintenance issue was documented in 2019 regarding damaged mortar joints at the building's entrance, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

However, the most concerning recent pattern involves the heating and hot water system failures, which have generated multiple emergency complaints despite some inspections being unable to gain access for verification. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2024), and passed several rodent inspections between 2010-2012. The property currently shows two active open violations related to building safety postings from 2021 regarding heating system access keyholder information and the terrace door condition in Apartment 16A, though many previous violations from 2021-2022 have been properly resolved and certified.
