47 Delancey Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The six-story, 35-unit tenement building at 47 Delancey Street, owned by Wing Yee and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building received two Environmental Control Board violations regarding fire safety, with penalties imposed for failing to maintain fire stopping in ceilings and walls during construction work in Unit 202. As of 2024, there are also open violations related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements, including the failure to provide necessary documentation and notifications to occupants.
The building has a documented history of water-related issues, including plumbing problems and leaks between 2019-2021, as well as pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about rodents, pests, and mold between 2018-2019. Unit 406 experienced significant maintenance issues in 2019, with multiple violations regarding water leaks and defective plaster surfaces in the kitchen, bathroom, and foyer. Recent inspections have shown some improvements, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 passing compliance checks.
The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, showing no infested or re-infested units during this period, though there was one previous incident in 2020 and two in 2019. Multiple complaints regarding construction and safety compliance have been filed, particularly in 2023, though many were found to warrant no violations upon inspection. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, with several complaints being addressed and closed through inspections, though the presence of ongoing violations related to lead paint hazards suggests longer-term compliance challenges.
