Augrented Insights Report for 520 West 47th Street

520 West 47th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Harold Rivera. The building has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, particularly notable in 2023-2024 with open violations regarding slow water leaks affecting the window and walls in apartment 3E.

A cluster of violations from April 2022 included heavy water flow, mold, and multiple door/window issues across several units, though many of these inspections failed to gain access. The property had significant safety concerns in late 2019 involving apartment 5E, including improper locking devices and unauthorized alterations, resulting in Environmental Control Board violations, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance history shows a mixed pattern, with the most recent 311 complaint about rodent-related conditions in November 2023 not resulting in any violations, following multiple successful rodent inspections in 2024.

The building has demonstrated some persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water management and window/door conditions, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and emergency complaints between 2021 and 2024. While the building has an active bedbug management history with regular reporting, recent filings from 2022 through 2025 show no infestations. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections since 2017, suggesting generally adequate pest control measures despite occasional complaints.
