250 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
The five-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building at 250 West 47th Street in the Theater District, owned by Rikin Sheth, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns relate to heating and plumbing systems, with emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues recorded in 2022 and 2021, and a water supply plumbing issue in January 2021.
The building has also faced regulatory challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024-2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and an open Class C violation from January 2021 regarding the posting of heating system maintenance information. A cluster of electrical wiring complaints between 2020-2021 raised safety concerns, though these were ultimately resolved through Oath violation processes. The building's Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2020 related to unpermitted electrical work and failure to comply with commissioner's orders, with penalties totaling $3,750.
More recently, six active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018 to 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance compliance issues. However, it's worth noting that the building has passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014, and has reported zero bedbug infestations in its most recent three annual reports (2024-2022). The property has maintained regular permit issuance for various maintenance work, with multiple electrical and plumbing permits issued between 2019 and 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance and system upgrades.
