304 West 147th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039

304 West 147th Street is a 33-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Anabel Morales. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and sanitation in 2025, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems across the entire building in April 2025, which resulted in HPD violations. More recently, there have been ongoing rodent infestation concerns, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints in June 2025 regarding conditions attracting rodents, and a failed rodent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity.

An open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage was filed with HPD in May 2025. The building has a history of maintenance issues, with several open violations from a November 2024 inspection of Apartment 14 noting problems with plastered surfaces and pest infestation. Previous concerns include two active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2018 related to boiler maintenance issues, with penalties totaling $5,625.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025, with varying results including repeated findings of rat activity. Historical complaints from 2021-2022 include investigations into potential illegal hotel rooms and wall concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has shown consistent reporting patterns for rodent activity, with inspections revealing persistent pest issues, despite some passing inspections and compliance checks. However, it's worth noting that there has been no bedbug activity reported in the past five reporting periods (2019-2024).
