53 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 6-unit, 4-story building at 53 West 16th Street in Chelsea, owned by Magdalena Kosz and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is a currently open emergency water leak complaint reported in January 2025, indicating a potentially unresolved infrastructure problem.
The building has a documented history of water-related issues, including a heat/hot water problem in November 2019 that was corrected upon inspection. Additionally, there was an unsanitary mold condition reported in December 2019 that, while investigated, resulted in no violations being issued.
In terms of pest management, the building has maintained an excellent record with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, according to the city's annual bedbug reporting requirements. The property underwent multiple rodent inspections between 2010-2022, revealing some concerns with rat activity in March 2022, though subsequent inspections in April 2022 passed compliance checks. The building's safety and maintenance history shows regular inspections and prompt reporting of issues, though the recent water leak complaint suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
