311 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The five-story, ten-unit Old Law Tenement at 311 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1920 and currently owned by Michael Felice, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in November 2023, there were complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

A more recent violation was documented in November 2023 regarding a self-closing door requirement for the vestibule door at the public hall on the first story. The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years (2022-2024), with no reported infestations or re-infestations in any dwelling units. Historical records show two treatment violations in 2021 and 2022 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though subsequent filings have shown full compliance with zero infestation reports.

The building has maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2024, including a July 2024 inspection that passed. Two complaints were investigated in 2019 - one regarding sidewalk conditions and another concerning the boiler - but no violations were found in either case. While recent heating and hot water issues are concerning, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with health and safety requirements, with most recent violations being promptly addressed or resolved.
