426 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The five-story, 15-unit tenement building at 426 West 47th Street, owned by Danny Zada, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety-related issues between 2020-2025. Most recently, in 2024-2025, the building faced multiple unaddressed complaints including issues with doors, windows, and a refrigerator, where inspectors were unable to gain access to perform required inspections.

Earlier complaints from October 2023 involved electrical wiring problems and water leaks, though no violations were found for a separate mold complaint during the same period. Building safety concerns were highlighted in September 2024 when two sanctions were issued for obstructed fire escape access on the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies due to air conditioning units, leading to a $1,250 penalty. Historical records reveal recurring maintenance patterns, including water-related issues (both slow and damp leaks), electrical problems, and unsanitary conditions such as pests and mold.

A compliance violation was issued in 2021 regarding improper fire escape access and various safety system malfunctions in apartment 2C (smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and door issues). The building shows a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, with inspections demonstrating some systems are being maintained properly, such as recent passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2020-2021. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019-2025 according to the official reporting system.
