12 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 12 West 17th Street building in Chelsea, owned by Divya Rashad, is a 12-story commercial altered Class A property constructed in 1912 with 11 units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a water leak reported in November 2022 which was investigated by HPD without resulting in violations.

Two ECB violations were recorded in 2018: one for failure to file an acceptable amended cycle 8B report regarding unsafe conditions (with a $640 penalty) and another for inadequate pedestrian protection and lighting around the construction shed (with a $2,400 penalty). There are also active and resolved DOB violations from August 2021, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building's recent history is relatively stable, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past several years, as confirmed by the bedbug reporting system from 2019 through 2024.

Multiple permits were issued between 2018 and 2020 for equipment and construction work (job numbers 140568856 and 123375383), indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2010 and 2012, suggesting effective pest management practices. While there have been several violations and maintenance issues documented in recent years, most have been resolved, and the absence of current infestations or major complaints in the past three years indicates improved maintenance conditions.
