47 Ann Street, Manhattan, NY 10038

47 Ann Street is a 7-story, 12-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Financial District, owned by Nathan Berman and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, most notably a partial collapse of the neighboring garage at 57 Ann Street in April 2023, which resulted in a Vacate Order for the R-line apartments that was later rescinded in January 2024. This incident led to additional structural monitoring requirements and multiple associated Department of Buildings violations.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with several complaints between 2019 and 2022 regarding maintenance issues and lack of alternate service, resulting in violations and penalties, though most recent reports indicate proper functioning and compliance. The building has maintained a consistent record of Bedbug Reports showing zero infestations from 2019 through 2024, and all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2018 (with the exception of one in 2013) passed without issues. Recent complaints and violations have primarily focused on building safety and maintenance, including a 2023 complaint regarding building shaking and stability concerns, though inspections found no violations at that time.

The property has also faced multiple inspections and complaints related to unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas between 2019 and 2020, though these were generally resolved without violations. The building's management has addressed various maintenance issues over time, including problems with exterior walls, facade maintenance, and elevator systems, as evidenced by the closed violations and compliance reports. The building's most recent environmental control board violations from October 2023 involved failure to comply with commissioner's orders, resulting in a $2,500 penalty, though these violations have since been resolved.
