55 West 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

55 West 17th Street in Chelsea is a 19-story, 52-unit Class A residential building completed in 2015, currently owned by Mark Gormley. The building has experienced several notable compliance issues over the past few years, with the most significant being an active violation as of December 2022 for failing to submit an acceptable Critical Exam Report of the exterior walls (Cycle 9A), for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

The building has also faced challenges with its Certificate of Occupancy status, having been cited in 2020 for occupancy contrary to Certificate of Occupancy records, with associated penalties, though this violation was eventually resolved. Multiple violations related to the failure to submit required Examination Reports (EER) for 2019, 2020, and multiple years were recorded between 2019-2022, though these were dismissed due to the building being less than 10 years old at the time of the violations.

The property has a clean record regarding pest infestations, with no bedbug cases reported in any of the annual filings from 2018 through 2024, and has consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010-2013. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and compliance efforts, with multiple work permits issued for various repairs and maintenance activities between 2019-2022, including recent permits issued in 2022 for plumbing and exterior work. While the building has experienced periodic regulatory challenges, particularly regarding its exterior wall inspection requirements and Certificate of Occupancy compliance, it has maintained a generally good record for resident safety and pest management since its construction.
