547 West 47Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 12-story, 222-unit residential building at 547 West 47th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Janine Getler, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several notable issues since opening. Most concerning are recent emergency maintenance complaints from June 2025 regarding mold and a slow water leak, both of which have been marked as closed. The building has a documented history of gas-related issues, with emergency complaints about cooking gas in December 2022 and through mid-2023, which were investigated by HPD with no violations found.

During the construction phase between 2020-2023, the building site faced multiple safety violations, including six incidents in January 2023 related to scaffold safety, elevator use, and worker safety, following an incident where a worker was injured and required hospitalization. These violations were subsequently resolved. The property has also experienced recurring rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in October and November 2024 showing rat activity, though earlier inspections from 2016-2019 had passed.

Notably, all bedbug reporting periods from 2021 through 2024 show zero infested units, and there have been no reported reinfestations. The building has experienced some regulatory challenges, including several violations in June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection, though these were dismissed. While many earlier construction-related violations from 2021-2022 were eventually resolved, they highlight a period of significant operational and safety concerns during the building's initial years.
