528 West 47th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036
Located in Hell's Kitchen, 528 West 47th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Martin Baumrind. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a paint/plaster ceiling complaint in November 2023. A notable cluster of problems occurred in 2022, including water leaks, window safety concerns (missing/defective window guards), unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, and multiple door-related issues - all of which were eventually addressed. Earlier, in 2020, there were multiple complaints about various building systems and conditions including plumbing, electrical, door/window, and flooring problems, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification in these cases.
The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations since 2018 and no bedbug complaints in the last five reporting periods (2019-2024). The property has faced several structural and maintenance challenges over the years, particularly between 2019-2022. Violations identified in 2019 included issues with the building entrance's metal cornice, fire escape balconies, and public hall ceiling treatments. Earlier violations included a C-class violation in 2022 regarding window guards in apartment 5E and hot water availability.
The building's mechanical systems have been monitored, with a boiler-related complaint in 2019 investigated but resulting in no violations. Recent records show improved conditions, with the most recent inspections indicating successful resolution of many past issues. The building has documented history of plumbing work, door issues, and lighting concerns, though many of these historical violations have been closed. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, with inspections showing consistent passing results since 2020, and no bedbug incidents reported in the past five years.
