351 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

351 West 47th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1920 and currently owned by Spencer Fox. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints between 2018 and 2022 affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, though most were resolved shortly thereafter.

A significant cluster of maintenance issues emerged in December 2018, primarily affecting apartment 2R, including plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower, ceiling issues, and pest-related violations, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building faced some notable infrastructure challenges in 2021, including a detached mechanical exhaust vent and a problematic boiler flue, though these issues were resolved through appropriate inspections and repairs.

Historical violations indicate various maintenance concerns, including a dropped floor between the front door and hall door, and multiple instances requiring better documentation and compliance with building codes. However, the property has maintained a consistent record of successful bedbug inspections over the past decade, with no reported infestations since 2019, and more recent rodent inspections from 2022-2024 show passing results, though there were some indications of rat activity in mid-2022. The building's current bedbug report (2024) and rodent inspection (2024) results suggest improved pest management, and recent maintenance records show fewer recurring issues compared to the earlier years of this dataset.
