441 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

441 West 47th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1966 in Hell's Kitchen, currently owned by Modestus Bell. The property has a notable pattern of heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed by residents indicating system failures across the entire building occurring persistently from 2018 through January 2025. While many of these complaints were resolved relatively quickly, often with systems being restored before inspections could confirm the problems, the frequency of these incidents suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge with the building's heating and hot water systems.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to various compliance requirements, though there have been some concerning incidents. Most recently, in 2024, there was a violation regarding a sidewalk shed with construction debris creating safety hazards, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed and resolved. The building has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting, showing no infestations reported for the past two years (2023-2025), and passed multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2024.

The property has undergone periodic inspections for various compliance matters, including Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2024, though some complaints regarding work without permits and debris conditions were recorded but not substantiated upon inspection. The building's violation history shows several years of required annual bedbug reporting violations documented in 2021-2023, though these appear to have been addressed in recent filings. The property's inspection records suggest regular maintenance and responsiveness to violations, with most issues being resolved promptly, though the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints remains the most significant consistent tenant concern across recent years.
