43 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
43 West 16th Street is a 12-story, 95-unit residential building in Chelsea, built in 1911 and currently owned by Geoff Ringler. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems during 2020-2021 that affected the entire building and required multiple emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More recent maintenance concerns include a water supply issue in August 2024 and door-related problems in July 2023, though inspections for both cases found no violations.
The building currently has one open violation, as of July 2023, regarding missing street number signage on the front of the building. The property has also faced some compliance and safety issues, including an illegal hotel room incident in 2019 that resulted in violations for unauthorized short-term rentals and missing fire alarm systems. In 2018, there were two active violations concerning the laundry room's gas dryers and sprinkler system, which remained unresolved for an extended period.
More recent maintenance records show regular rodent inspection passes and a clean bedbug report for the past three filing periods (2021-2024), with no infestations reported since 2019. The building's elevator system underwent inspection in 2025 with no violations noted, and various permits related to exterior work were issued between 2020-2022. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, recent years show improved compliance with pest control and elevator maintenance requirements.
