342 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
342 West 47th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen and owned by Paul Brusco. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring moisture-related issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints regarding mold conditions in 2025 and 2024, and a significant water leak incident in September 2024 that resulted in violations.
The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including an open violation from October 2024 affecting apartment 5R related to water leaks and plaster damage, and previous violations regarding garbage/recycling storage in 2022-2023. In terms of infrastructure and safety concerns, there was an illegal duplex apartment situation involving a cellar conversion discovered in 2024, which prompted Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations related to unauthorized occupancy and plumbing installations. While the building has had some rodent activity reported in compliance inspections in 2021 and 2022, recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have passed.
The building's heating system faced accessibility issues in 2023 when complaints about lack of heat/hot water could not be inspected, though this appears to have been resolved. Bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show no infestations or eradication efforts. The property has generally maintained compliance with basic housing maintenance code requirements, with periodic violations being addressed through the normal correction process.
