13 West 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 11-story building at 13 West 24th Street in the Flatiron District, owned by Melissa Cafiero, has experienced several notable events in recent years that affect resident safety and building maintenance. Most recently, there are ongoing compliance inspections related to Local Law 188/17, with an active complaint (as of August 2024) for which inspection dates and disposition have yet to be recorded. A significant safety incident occurred in July 2023 involving scaffolding, when a worker reportedly fell approximately 6 feet from the parapet wall onto the roof level, resulting in a $5,000 penalty against Central Construction Management.

The building experienced elevator service issues in 2019, when the single-device elevator system was found to have no alternate service, leading to an Oath Violation. Furthermore, there appears to be a persistent issue with accessing the building for inspections, as evidenced by a December 2023 compliance inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access after multiple attempts. The building's maintenance history shows relatively good pest control management, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 indicating zero infested units, and successful eradication efforts when necessary.

The property has maintained a passing record during rodent inspections conducted annually between 2010 and 2014, suggesting effective vermin control measures. Between 2018 and 2019, multiple permits were issued for various work on the building, including electrical and plumbing systems, though the specific nature and completion status of these permits are not detailed in the available records. While the building has faced some regulatory challenges and safety incidents, recent bedbug and rodent management records indicate these specific issues have been effectively addressed.
