419 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 4-story, 9-unit building at 419 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by David Llanos, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021, with the most pressing concerns emerging during 2022. In January 2022, multiple safety-related complaints were filed regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector functionality, as well as cabinet issues, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access for verification.

The building also experienced a heat and hot water outage in February 2021 that was reportedly resolved quickly. More recently, there are active violations from 2023 regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2021.

While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there was a failed inspection in February 2023 for "Other Reasons." The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported through three consecutive annual filings (2019-2021), with zero units affected, and inspections have consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements from 2018 through 2024, except for the noted failure in February 2023. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints show a pattern of issues in 2021-2022 regarding safety systems and general maintenance, though these were ultimately closed without resolution confirmation. Both the HPD and DOHMH have conducted multiple inspections of the property, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 passing successfully, indicating generally improved conditions in recent months.
