47 Perry Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
47 Perry Street, a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1889 in the West Village, currently under the ownership of Antonio Vasquez, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years. As of May 2025, there are three open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding cooking gas, wall plaster, and an electric/gas range, though notably, two previous heat/hot water complaints from early 2025 were closed without inspection access.
The building has faced recurring heating system problems, as evidenced by multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints and several boiler-related violations between 2020-2024, including two open bedbug violation notices from 2023-2024. Significant safety concerns have been documented, particularly in inspections between 2022-2023, including issues with the building's fire escape drop ladder, broken window guards, and multiple violations in apartment 5B relating to door functionality, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and various maintenance matters. Three open ECB violations (from 2020-2022) relate to building safety and maintenance requirements, with penalties totaling over $50,000.
The rodent inspections show a mixed history, with the most recent March 2025 inspection passing, though previous years indicated recurring rat activity. The building's electrical and plumbing systems have also experienced recurring issues, including power outages in 2022, water leaks, and multiple electrical/wiring-related complaints. While certain maintenance issues appear to be addressed promptly, the persistence of some violations and open complaints suggests ongoing building maintenance challenges.
