420 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
The 5-story, 27-unit tenement building at 420 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Oren Shapiro and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent problems, with "Rat Sighting" and "Signs of Rodents" documented in 2020 and 2021, though recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2024 have all passed, including the most recent July 2024 inspection.
The building has consistently complied with bedbug reporting requirements, showing "0" infested units in all annual reports from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective management of this issue. The property experienced a serious construction safety incident in April 2019, when a worker fell from a sidewalk shed, resulting in a $5,000 Environmental Control Board violation. Several construction-related complaints were filed in 2019, though inspections did not warrant violations.
The building has maintained active permits for work, with three issued in 2019-2020 under job number 123495146. In 2023 and 2024, while there were two violations noted regarding the submission of annual bedbug reports, these appear to be administrative in nature, as the filings were subsequently completed. The building's recent inspection history suggests improved conditions, with no rodent activity reported in the past year and consistent compliance with health department requirements.
