417 West 47th Street is a 4-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 417 West 47th Street LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding its boiler and hot water heating systems. In 2023, two active ECB violations were issued related to improper installation of the hot water heater and gas line connections, with one penalty of $1,250 still pending as of April 2025.

Prior to this, from February to April 2023, serious concerns emerged about the building's plumbing and boiler systems, resulting in multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations. The building has a documented history of electrical safety issues, with multiple violations related to exposed electrical wiring in 2019, culminating in a violation for continuing work while under a stop work order. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2020 through 2025, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management.

While the building has had some food establishment-related complaints between 2018 and 2019, these were primarily administrative and have since been resolved. Regular rodent inspections from 2019 through 2024 indicate satisfactory results, with most recent inspections passing. The building's maintenance records show a mix of resolved and active violations, suggesting ongoing attention required to address system maintenance issues, particularly the heating and plumbing systems.
