147 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

147 West 22nd Street is a 10-story, 16-unit commercial altered class A building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Steven Shapiro. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being the active violation for failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection records as of September 2024.

The building has a documented history of facade maintenance concerns, particularly in November 2021 when violations were issued for both the failure to maintain exterior walls and failure to post the exterior wall condition certificate, resulting in penalties totaling $1,500. Though there was an attempted inspection for illegal hotel rooms in 2021, the inspector was unable to gain access. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest management, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past eight years, as evidenced by consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infested units between 2019-2024.

The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, following a pattern of mostly satisfactory results in previous inspections, with bait applied in 2022 and some rat activity noted in March 2021. Two notable violations occurred in 2021 regarding suspended scaffolds, though no violation was warranted upon inspection, and exterior wall maintenance violations were noted at that time. The building's most recent construction/alteration permit was issued in February 2019 for plumbing work.
