16 East 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

16 East 17th Street is an 8-story, 7-unit residential building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Anne Riccitelli. The building has experienced some notable incidents in recent years, with two work without permit complaints recorded in early 2025, both referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. In 2021, there was a significant elevator issue noted as a "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," which resulted in a penalty due to worn traction sheave requiring repair or replacement, though this violation was subsequently resolved.

The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections between 2020-2021, with no violations found, and has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022. The property has demonstrated good maintenance practices regarding pest control, with annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has also shown compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code, though there was one bedbug reporting violation noted in April 2021.

Multiple permits have been issued for the building over the past several years, including several in 2020 for various work, and one violation from 2018 was dismissed based on subsequent inspection showing corrections had been made. A face covering violation was reported and closed in January 2022, though this is less relevant to current resident conditions. Overall, while there have been some maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding the elevator system in 2021 and recent work without permit complaints, the building has generally maintained good health and safety standards according to available records.
