18 West 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 12-story building at 18 West 25th Street, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Wai Yung, has experienced several notable incidents and conditions over its recent history. Most concerning was a rodent/insect/garbage issue reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in March 2019, which warranted official notice to the owner. In 2018, the building faced two Environmental Control Board violations related to its exterior maintenance, including chipped stone issues and roof cracks, resulting in fines totaling $3,780.

The building has undergone multiple tenant safety inspections in 2021, none of which resulted in violations, and has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2022, with no infestations reported in any of the ten recent filings. The property has shown compliance with housing maintenance codes, though there was a door frame issue in October 2022 that was investigated but resulted in no violations. Multiple permits have been issued in recent years for various maintenance work, including electrical and plumbing updates between 2018 and 2022.

While there have been several violations related to administrative requirements, such as energy benchmarking reports in 2020 and Category 5 inspections in 2019, these were eventually dismissed upon confirmation of compliance. The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2014, indicating effective pest management during that period. The combined data suggests that while the building has had some maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding exterior upkeep and administrative requirements, these have generally been resolved or dismissed, and more recent years show improved pest control management and fewer resident impact issues.
