Augrented Insights Report for 440 West 47th Street

The 5-story, 45-unit Old Law Tenement building at 440 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Joshua Potash and built in 1940, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance challenges over the past two years. Most notably, there are several active Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 related to the illegal use of Apartment 1H for transient purposes, including failure to provide a fire alarm system ($6,250 penalty), maintain proper means of egress ($6,250 penalty), and install an automatic sprinkler system ($3,125 penalty).

The building has also received numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations, including unresolved issues with mold in the basement, pest infestations, and various water leak problems between 2024-2025. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent plumbing issues, with multiple water leak complaints recorded in 2024, as well as problems with ceiling, wall, and door conditions that have required HPD inspection and correction. While rodent inspections between 2018-2024 have generally passed, there were notable violations related to bedbug reporting in 2023-2024.

The property has undergone several complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms and conversions, with multiple instances of inspectors being denied access. Recent violations from 2024 suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance compliance, including failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations. The former elevator service issues from 2022 appear to have been resolved, but the building's overall violation history indicates ongoing concerns with maintenance and compliance that continue to require attention.
