47 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The four-story, nine-unit building at 47 West 90th Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Sam Schreiber, was constructed in 1894 and is currently classified as a Class A building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024 when multiple violations were recorded related to defective self-closing doors throughout the basement area.

These Class C violations, which include problems with doors leading to the front arway and various fire doors, were officially documented on December 4, 2024, and remain open as of January 2025. The building has also faced historical challenges with unsanitary conditions, including a mold complaint in September 2019 that could not be investigated due to lack of access, and there have been multiple rodent sightings reported in 2019, though recent inspections have passed, including a September 2024 inspection. Despite these issues, the building maintains an established track record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 to the present.

The property appears to have undergone some permitted work in 2019, with a plumbing permit issued in April of that year (job number 140747324). While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2016, the recent self-closing door violations in the basement area represent the most significant current safety concern. The previous complaints and violations, including the 2019 mold issue and various rodent sightings, suggest that while some maintenance issues have been addressed over time, new compliance matters continue to arise, particularly regarding door safety features.
