324 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

324 West 47th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement built in 1920, currently owned by Julian Romano. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three separate complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building in December 2020, and another similar complaint in January 2024.

The most recent incident resulted in a violation for defective fire retardant material in the fifth-story public hall ceiling, though this violation was certified as corrected by late January 2024. An investigation into potential illegal hotel rooms in the building was initiated in March 2024, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their two attempts.

The building has maintained relatively good pest control records in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three annual filings (2021-2024), though there were three units reported as infested in 2020-2021. Rodent inspections have shown consistent improvement, with "Passed" results in the most recent inspections from 2021 through July 2024, following previous concerns in late 2018 when bait was applied regularly and rat activity was noted. The building's heating system and access issues in 2020-2024, along with the April 2024 investigation into illegal hotel use, represent the most significant concerns on record, while the successful rodent control program and absence of recent bedbug infestations suggest improvement in overall building conditions.
