320 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
320 West 47th Street is a five-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by Isabel Novoa under the 320 W 47th St HDFC entity. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns emerging as of June 2025, including problems with plumbing (bathtub/shower), flooring/stairs, and pest control. Notable violations from 2024 include safety and maintenance issues in Apartment 5W, such as defective self-closing doors, malfunctioning smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detection systems, and visible mold (approximately 25 square feet) in the bathroom.
The building's history shows a pattern of moisture-related problems, including mold and unsanitary conditions in multiple instances between 2022-2024, along with pest infestations and garbage storage issues. The property has experienced various service requests that demonstrate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a 2024 door issue that HPD couldn't inspect and multiple plumbing problems, though some complaints have been resolved within days. Safety compliance concerns have been addressed through violations and inspections, including a 2024 requirement to replace defective doors and a 2022 inspection regarding door self-closing mechanisms.
While the building has maintained proper rodent control with consistent passing inspections from 2018 to 2024, a former rat activity notice from February 2022 indicates past issues. The bedbug reporting system shows no infestations reported between 2022-2024, suggesting proper management of this particular pest, though an annual bedbug report filing violation was noted in 2024. An 2022 complaint about illegal conversion was dismissed due to insufficient information. Overall, the building's maintenance history suggests persistent issues with plumbing, sanitation, and safety systems requiring ongoing attention.
