Most common HPD issues in Chelsea
Chelsea shows above-average pest complaint rates, driven by its dense mix of older walk-ups alongside the High Line corridor where construction and foot traffic stir activity.
In Chelsea, check bed bug complaint history carefully -- the mix of pre-war buildings and high tenant turnover near the High Line creates concentrated pest pressure.
