23 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The four-story, 1845 Chelsea building at 23 West 16th Street, currently owned by Michael Hepner, has several notable ongoing maintenance issues as of 2025. Most prominently, there is an open violation from 2024 (and continuing from previous years back to 2021) related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.
The Department of Buildings has also issued active violations in 2023 for failure to file the 2021 and 2022 external low pressure inspections, which suggests potential safety system maintenance oversight. The building has experienced rodent activity issues in the past, with a confirmed rat presence in April 2017, though subsequent inspection in May 2017 and earlier inspections in 2012, 2011, and 2010 recorded passing results.
The repeated bedbug report violations and the two open DOB external pressure inspection violations appear to be the most pressing current concerns, impacting both resident comfort and safety compliance. The building, which was previously converted to Class A status, contains four residential units and has maintained its original 1845 structure for over 180 years.
