35 West 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 6-story commercial building at 35 West 19th Street in Chelsea, owned by Dan Forrester, has a long history dating back to 1903 and currently contains 5 units. The property has undergone several significant events, with particular attention needed on recent maintenance and safety matters. Most notably, in 2022, there was a housing maintenance emergency involving a door issue that could not be inspected by HPD, and a bedbug reporting violation concerning the timely filing of annual reports.

The elevator system has experienced recurring compliance issues, with violations issued in 2019 for failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, though these were ultimately dismissed in 2024. A 2019 food poisoning complaint was filed with the Department of Health, and there was a gas utility referral in 2018 that resulted in no violations. The building's maintenance history shows relatively good upkeep in certain areas, with all six bedbug reports between 2019 and 2024 indicating zero infested units or related issues.

Past rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012 all passed. Multiple permits were issued between 2018 and 2019 for various types of work, including plumbing and alteration work, suggesting regular maintenance and improvements. While the building has had its share of violations and service requests, most have been addressed or resolved, though the 2022 door issue and bedbug reporting violation still stand out as notable recent concerns.
