401 7th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001
The 23-story building at 401 7th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Gene Nicotra and constructed in 1917, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, particularly regarding building maintenance and safety compliance. As of early 2024, there are multiple open violations related to building inspections, including failure to file required External Low Pressure Inspections and Annual Bedbug Reports.
Recent construction-related violations include a 2024 active violation regarding failure to submit an acceptable Cycle 9B exterior wall inspection report, with a $6,250 penalty. The building has undergone significant construction activity, evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019-2023, and several violations related to sidewalk shed safety and worksite conditions were resolved in 2023. The building has faced recurring pest control challenges, particularly between 2018-2019, with multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations.
While there have been improvements, including passing rodent inspections in 2020 and filing a bedbug report showing no infestations for 2019-2020, recent health department interactions include a food poisoning complaint in 2022 and mobile food vendor complaints in 2022 and 2025. The building suffered a significant electrical incident in early 2021 involving a fire at the electric service panel, though this occurred during active construction hours with proper notification. Recent compliance issues have primarily centered around documentation and inspection requirements, with multiple violations for failure to submit required inspection reports between 2019-2024, including FISP Cycle 9B and External Low Pressure Inspection reports.
