321 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
321 West 47th Street is a 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 321-3 West 47th Street Associates, L.P. The building has experienced significant heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, including at least one building-wide incident that resulted in violations being issued. Other recent concerns include plumbing problems (specifically involving a basin/sink), pest issues, and appliance complaints in January-April 2025.
The building has a history of structural maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple open violations from August 2024 regarding plaster surfaces and ceiling repairs in Apartment 4A, as well as historical violations related to interior wall painting requirements. Between 2018 and 2021, the building generated multiple illegal conversion complaints, with the most recent active ECB violations (issued in 2021) indicating failure to comply with commissioner's orders related to various code violations, each carrying a penalty of $6,250. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple complaints being filed between January and February 2025.
There have been concerning patterns of compliance issues, including several instances of the property owner failing to file required certificates of correction for violations, particularly regarding vacate orders in 2018-2020. While recent reports from 2021-2024 show no confirmed bedbug infestations and successful rodent inspections, previous inspections indicated periods of rat activity in 2021. The building's age and history of violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with particularly notable issues regarding heat/hot water systems and interior maintenance requiring attention. The property has maintained a generally consistent record of filing required bedbug reports showing no infestations since 2019, and recent rodent inspections have mostly shown compliance, though with some past concerns.
