449 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

449 West 47th Street, a 4-unit, 4-story building constructed in 1920 and converted to Class A housing, has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest management and building maintenance under the ownership of Elke Fears. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years, with the most recent report filed in June 2025 showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the previous filing period.

This pattern of zero infestations has been consistent since at least 2019, though the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, these violations appear to have been resolved as per the subsequent filings. The property has maintained an exemplary record in rodent inspections, passing all ten inspections conducted between 2016 and 2024, including the most recent inspection in July 2024.

This consistent compliance with both bedbug and rodent reporting requirements suggests effective pest management practices in place, though the initial violations in 2022 and 2023 indicate occasional administrative oversight in documentation requirements. The building's overall maintenance record appears stable, with no significant safety concerns or recurring pest issues reported since the resolution of the bedbug reporting violations.
