Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

47 West 71st Street is a four-story, 10-unit residential building owned by Eldrick Bodden and located in Manhattan's Upper West Side. Built in 1886, this Class A building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being multiple pest-related complaints in June 2024, which were classified as both emergency and non-emergency situations. The building had no heat or hot water on December 9, 2023, though this issue was resolved within three days. Between 2019 and 2024, there were also complaints about a gas range appliance, garbage storage conditions, and a fire escape that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The property has an extensive history of violations and required postings, particularly noted in a 2018 inspection, where several Class A violations were recorded regarding safety notices, including requirements for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. While these violations were formally closed in 2021, they indicate past safety compliance concerns. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with recent filings from 2024 showing no infested units, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, suggesting generally good pest control practices despite the recent pest complaints. A complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in June 2023, but no violations were found upon inspection. The building's most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 resulted in a "Passed" rating, continuing a pattern of successful pest management in this regard.
