316 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 12-unit, 5-story building at 316 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Josh Bell, is a 1920 Old Law Tenement that has experienced several significant maintenance-related events in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring issue with timely bedbug reporting requirements, with violations documented in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, though recent bedbug reports (filing periods from 2022-2024) indicate no infested or eradicated units.

The building has also faced compliance challenges with safety inspections, including a violation for failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection (resolved April 2024) and an active violation from November 2019 regarding failure to file the 2017 Boiler Inspection Report. More recently, in mid-2024, there were two complaints about work without permits and illegal conversion, though inspections found no violations in either case.

The building has maintained a strong record of rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections between 2016 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 also showing compliance. While the building has had multiple violations and complaints over the past few years, recent filings indicate improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, and the property's consistent passing of rodent inspections suggests effective pest management practices, though the history of bedbug reporting violations indicates this remains an area requiring regular monitoring.
