14 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

14 West 17th Street is a 12-story joint residential/artists building in Chelsea, built in 1907 and currently owned by Michael Hepner. The 19-unit property has experienced several regulatory compliance issues in recent years, most notably concerning energy efficiency requirements in 2021, including violations for failing to display the required energy efficiency score and grade, as well as not filing the mandatory benchmarking report. However, both violations were subsequently dismissed.

The building has had consistent bedbug inspection reports since 2019, with all reporting periods showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. Multiple construction and maintenance permits have been issued over the years, with several permits related to plumbing and electrical work issued between 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building systems. The Department of Buildings has documented one active complaint regarding professional certification compliance in December 2018, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the first attempt in February 2019.

Historical records show the building has maintained good sanitation standards, with no rodent issues reported in inspections from 2010 to 2012, all of which passed. The property has demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all inspections showing no evidence of infestation. While there have been some administrative non-compliance issues related to energy reporting, these were resolved and dismissed, and there are no current violations on record. The building's maintenance history appears robust, with multiple permits indicating proactive upkeep of building systems.
