457 West 147th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

457 West 147th Street is a four-story, two-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, owned by Kelly Germa and constructed in 1920. The property has demonstrated persistent non-compliance with several important regulatory requirements over the past few years.

Most notably, there are four open Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, suggesting potential concerns about pest management practices. The building has also accumulated two open Department of Buildings violations, one from April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, and another from November 2019 regarding the non-filing of the 2017 boiler inspection report, both of which relate to building safety systems. The property has faced significant challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by six out of seven rodent inspections between 2024-2025 showing rat activity, with the most recent being in June 2025.

While there were three inspections in 2023-2024 that passed, the overall pattern indicates ongoing pest management challenges. The building's inspection history shows some consistent compliance with rodent inspections in earlier years (2017-2018), where most inspections passed, but recent years (2023-2025) have been marked by increased difficulties. The property's record reflects a concerning trend of regulatory non-compliance and pest management challenges that have persisted over multiple years, with particular attention needed to the recent pattern of failed rodent inspections and open violations related to both safety systems and pest management compliance.
