128 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 7-story building at 128 West 47th Street, owned by Glenn Westerlind and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant violations and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are three active ECB violations from 2024 and earlier regarding exterior maintenance, including failure to comply with a Commissioner's order and failure to file required examination reports. Between 2021-2022, multiple violations were documented concerning the building's facade, including cracked and broken window sills, damaged stones, and deteriorating mortar joints, particularly on the north elevation.

The property has also faced issues with unauthorized occupancy and construction work, most prominently involving a rooftop sushi restaurant and related electrical/plumbing work, for which multiple active violations and penalties are recorded. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period (2022-2023) and previous reports showing similar results. There were also violations related to the elevator system in 2021, and construction-related complaints in 2022.

The property has a record of resolving many violations, including several immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations that were dismissed. The building's façade maintenance has been an ongoing concern, with multiple violations issued for failure to maintain exterior walls and provide required sidewalk sheds during 2021. Three annual bedbug reports (2021-2024) indicate proper reporting compliance, though the building received violations for failure to file annual reports in 2021-2022 before subsequent compliance was established.
