147 West 15th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

147 West 15th Street is a 9-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by La Fabrique Owners Corporation. The building has experienced several notable events in recent years, most significantly an active violation as of August 2024 for "swamp conditions" that remains unresolved as of this report's date in July 2025. The property has undergone regular compliance inspections for Local Law 188/17, with the most recent completed inspection in January 2025 showing no enforcement action required.

The building's elevator system has faced scrutiny, with a complaint filed in October 2023 regarding "No Alternate Service," though this also resulted in no violations upon inspection in November 2023. A sidewalk shed complaint filed in January 2025 was also found to warrant no violation at the time of inspection. The property has maintained an impressive record regarding pest control, with eight consecutive years (2018-2025) reporting zero bedbug infestations.

Additionally, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in October 2024. A series of plumbing-related complaints were reported in early 2019, but these were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and closed with no violations noted. The building has an established pattern of timely permit issuance for various maintenance or improvement works, with multiple permits issued in 2021 and 2019 for work classified under "EW" (presumably emergency work). While there have been several violations and complaints on record over the years (including those related to unsafe conditions and various building systems), most have been resolved through appropriate inspections and follow-up actions, though the current swamp conditions violation deserves particular attention as an ongoing issue.
