Augrented Insights Report for 40 West 17th Street

40 West 17th Street is a 12-story mixed-use building in Chelsea, built in 1910 and currently managed by owner Divya Rashad. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, with the most concerning being an ongoing construction lead dust issue in the common areas and apartments reported in December 2019 that remains in progress as of the latest check.

The property has a documented history of water-related problems, particularly in late 2019, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks filed between October and November of that year. These issues were serious enough to result in various violations, including problems with mold, paint/plaster damage, and roof leaks affecting both common areas and individual units, particularly impacting apartment 12C.

More recent concerns include multiple active violations related to the building's external maintenance requirements, with four violations issued between 2023-2024 regarding failure to file necessary external low-pressure inspections and FISP Cycle 9B technical reports. There are also two notable complaints from 2024: one regarding work done without proper permits in occupied units, and another about egress issues, though the building's bedbug inspection records from 2019 to 2024 show no reported infestations. The building's maintenance record shows regular filings and compliance checks for pest control, with historical rodent inspections passing in 2010, 2011, and 2012, suggesting historical attention to general building health concerns, though recent violation patterns indicate ongoing compliance challenges.
