1515 47th Street in Borough Park is a 54-unit, 6-story CLASS A apartment building constructed in 1939 and currently owned by Simcha Tyk. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent being an electrical lighting problem reported in March 2024. In 2022, there was a cluster of unresolved complaints including heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems, water leaks, window frame concerns, and pest infestations, though some of these complaints were later inspected and resolved.
A safety violation related to fire escape conditions was documented and addressed in March 2022. The building is currently facing multiple outstanding violations regarding energy efficiency requirements, with several failures to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores documented between 2023 and 2024. Historically, the building has had various elevator-related concerns, particularly in December 2018, when multiple complaints were documented regarding single device operation and no alternate service, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation with a $1,250 penalty for inoperative door zone restrictors.
In 2022, Apartment 4B was identified as requiring multiple repairs, including water leak remediation, pest control, and various maintenance items such as window repairs and door replacements. The building also has two past rodent inspections (2012 and 2015) where it passed inspection, though the most recent bedbug reporting requirement violations from 2023-2024 remain open. The most recent complaint about site conditions endangering workers was logged in April 2025 and referred to the Department of Transportation, though this appears to be related to external conditions rather than building maintenance.
