441 West 147th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

441 West 147th Street is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Victor Quiroz. The brick building, constructed in 1892, has faced ongoing rodent issues over the past several years, with documented rat activity during inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

The property has undergone multiple inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, including a rodent complaint in August 2022 that resulted in no violations being found at that time. Between 2020 and 2024, the building maintained a clean record concerning bedbug infestations, with no units reporting infestation or requiring eradication during annual reports. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural and systems maintenance, with six plumbing-related permits (issued between 2018 and 2022) and two exterior work permits issued in 2018.

The most recent permits were issued in June 2022, suggesting regular upkeep of essential systems. Despite the persistent rodent issues, which have required multiple compliance inspections and bait applications in 2024, the property has generally maintained compliance with health regulations. The rat activity remains the most significant concern for residents, as evidenced by the frequency of inspections and reports, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 indicating ongoing challenges with vermin control.
