455 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The three-story, 15-unit building at 455 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Marvin Davis and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including two separate incidents in November 2023 affecting the entire building and individual apartments, though some were resolved after HPD inspections. The building has required attention to its infrastructure and resident comfort, with violations issued related to mold, water leaks, and an outdated intercom system in apartment 2B documented in November 2023.

There was also a concerning incident in 2023 involving both water leakage and unsanitary mold conditions, though these were addressed through HPD intervention. The property has maintained a proactive approach to pest management, as evidenced by its regular bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2025, consistently showing zero infestations during the reporting periods. Regarding safety and security, there have been historical violations of note, including a 2022 inspection revealing defective fire egress components and various plumbing issues in apartment 1A.

More recently, a general mailbox complaint in July 2024 was closed without resolution due to inspection access issues. The building's rodent control efforts show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2021 and 2023. The property has demonstrated some recurring maintenance challenges but has generally addressed violations through formal inspections and corrections, with the most recent violations related to building systems and infrastructure being resolved through proper channels.
