47 Jane Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
The 4-story, 20-unit tenement building at 47 Jane Street in the West Village, dating back to 1839 and currently owned by Jeffrey Heidings, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a pattern of heat and safety-related complaints, including a March 2023 emergency heat/hot water complaint that could not be verified due to access issues, and multiple violations in Apartment 18 identified in May 2022 pertaining to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, bathroom door issues, and various maintenance concerns.
The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, with reports of building shaking/vibration in 2022 and 2023, though inspectors typically could not gain access to verify these claims. Recent inspections in 2025 revealed rodent activity, with a March 2025 initial inspection failing, though an April 2025 compliance inspection passed. Exterior issues were noted in June 2023, when ceiling cracks and uneven flooring conditions were reported in Apartment 18, resulting in an ECB violation with a $655 penalty.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported infestations between 2018 and 2025. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development has investigated numerous complaints between 2022 and 2023 regarding various building systems including plumbing, electrical, and ventilation, most inspections resulted in no violations being issued, suggesting that many complaints could not be independently verified due to access issues. The building currently has several open violations from 2022 related to various safety systems, including fire safety and ventilation requirements that require attention.
