47 King Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

47 King Street is a historic three-story building constructed in 1829 in SoHo, currently containing 13 units and owned by 47-49 King Street Housing Corporation. The property has undergone several significant inspections and evaluations in recent years, with structural monitoring conducted in 2025 revealing visible bulging in brick walls at various levels and missing mortar that required professional evaluation and corrective action. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections from 2017 through 2025, with only one instance of rat activity documented in November 2019.

Bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2025) show no infestations, with zero units reported as infested or requiring eradication. Recent complaints indicate some areas of concern for resident experience and safety. A smoking violation was recorded in late 2023, and there was a heat/hot water complaint in 2019 that could not be verified due to lack of access to the apartment.

The building has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though these violations are listed as closed. Of particular note, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued in late 2021 regarding an inadequate tenant protection plan during some construction work, resulting in a $2,500 penalty. The Department of Buildings conducted several tenant safety inspections between 2021 and 2024, with most showing no violations or requiring compliance inspections. As of mid-2025, there is an active violation for failure to file 2019 external low-pressure inspection documentation, though this may be related to the building's recent structural monitoring findings.
