47 Bond Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

47 Bond Street is a four-story, 4-unit mixed residential/artists building located in NoHo, built in 1830 and currently owned by Donna Lennard. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, most significantly relating to unauthorized construction work and maintenance compliance. In 2021-2023, there were multiple violations regarding unpermitted electrical work and construction, including the installation of new electrical panels and heating units at the cellar and first floors, which resulted in Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $4,875.

More recently, in 2023, there was a documented failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, with multiple cracks observed in hallway partitions from the 5th floor down, though this violation has since been resolved. The building has had some recurring administrative compliance issues, particularly regarding annual bedbug reporting. From 2021 to 2024, there were four Housing Maintenance Code violations issued for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent two filings (2024) show no infested units. Interestingly, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2011 through 2024, indicating good pest management practices in this regard.

A food poisoning complaint was filed in July 2018 and addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though the specific resolution is not detailed in the records. Separate complaints regarding illegal conversion were filed in 2021, which also resulted in Oath Violations being served. In summary, while the building appears to have good current maintenance and pest management practices as of 2024, its recent history shows a pattern of unauthorized construction work and administrative compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. The resolution of these violations, and the building's ability to maintain passed inspections for rodent control and bedbug management in recent years, suggests improved compliance with basic housing standards.
