Augrented Insights Report for 525 West 47th Street

525 West 47th Street is a 6-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen and built in 1920, currently owned by David Pearson. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being an open HPD complaint from April 2025 regarding an electric/gas range issue. There have been multiple appliance-related complaints, including a range issue in February 2025 that was closed due to inspection access problems, and a confirmed appliance problem in November 2022 involving heat/hot water.

Notably, there were safety concerns in October 2024 related to fire escapes that were classified as immediate emergencies, though inspections were also unable to be completed. The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, with multiple complaints including a sink/basin problem in June 2024 classified as emergency. A comprehensive inspection in June 2024 resulted in several violations for Apartment 1F, including problems with the bathroom entrance door, kitchen sink cabinet, and various plastered surfaces and paint requirements.

The elevator system has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2020 and 2025, though recent inspections have generally found no violations. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2010, and recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) show minimal infestation history, though two units were reported infested in 2020-2021 and 2019-2020. While there have been various maintenance issues requiring attention, most recent complaints appear to be in progress or have been resolved through inspection processes, with some exceptions such as the current open range complaint from 2025.
