447 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 447 East 117th Street in East Harlem, owned by Gussie Baines and constructed in 1920, has demonstrated consistent compliance with several key building safety and maintenance requirements over recent years. The property has successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted bi-annually from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing no violations.

These inspections include regular evaluations of pest control measures and sanitation standards, indicating effective maintenance of basic building health requirements. The building has shown diligent compliance with the NYC Bedbug Reporting requirements, with all annual filings from 2019 through 2025 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2021 and 2022 related to the late filing of the annual bedbug report, these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of any actual pest presence, and the status of these violations is listed as "Closed." Notably, there was one documented rat sighting complaint in May 2020, though this was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations being found, with the property passing inspection at that time. The consistent pattern of inspection pass results and complete bedbug reporting compliance in recent years suggests a proactive approach to building maintenance and pest management, though it is important to note that the building is classified as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" under current building classification systems.
