30 West 15th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

30 West 15th Street is a 12-story, 21-unit commercial building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Steven Ganeless. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with particular attention required on fire safety matters. Most recently, in May 2025, there was an immediate emergency complaint regarding the fire escape system, which was closed shortly after.

The property has a documented pattern of failing to file bedbug reports in 2021-2024, though recent filings from 2024 show zero infestation cases. Multiple violations relating to energy efficiency reporting were recorded between 2017-2021, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved, with the building achieving compliance through proper submissions. The building's inspection history shows periodic scrutiny under Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with the most recent inspection in September 2023 resulting in no violations.

There was an active complaint in September 2023 regarding potentially unsafe mechanical demolition activities, though this was referred to Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Historical records from 2017 show regular rodent monitoring with bait applications being required, suggesting past pest management challenges. The property has undergone various renovations and improvements as evidenced by multiple work permits issued between 2018-2019, including plumbing and electrical work. While the building has faced several regulatory challenges over the years, recent filings and inspections indicate improved compliance, particularly regarding bedbug management and energy reporting requirements, though the recent fire escape issue raises ongoing safety concerns that warrant attention.
