914 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
914 47th Street is a 4-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by David Schreiber. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being a broken/missing window guard (April 2025) and multiple instances of heating/hot water system problems (March 2025), including one emergency complaint about lack of heat and hot water that was only temporarily resolved. There are also multiple open and recently closed violations related to paint/plaster work in ceilings and walls, which received HPD violations in early 2025.
The building previously had substantial issues in late 2024, particularly in apartment BD4, where multiple violations were documented including problems with window guards, mold infestation, and various maintenance needs such as wall repairs and bathroom ventilation requirements. The property has a history of compliance inspections and violations related to safety concerns, including a 2023 egress issue that resulted in an Oath Violation. More serious building-wide problems were noted in March 2025 with a complaint about building shaking/vibration, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. Earlier issues from 2019-2020 involved electrical hazards and safety concerns regarding a laundry room in the cellar with commercial dryers.
The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates one unit was infested during the 2023-2024 reporting period, though it was subsequently eradicated. The building has multiple permits issued in 2022-2023 for various work, including electrical and plumbing-related activities, though some permits are still in process as of the latest records. A $2,500 fine was imposed and resolved in 2023 for failure to safeguard property during construction work. While some violations have been resolved, there are ongoing concerns regarding window safety, heating systems, and general maintenance that affect resident comfort and safety.
