47-21 47th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 47-21 47th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Allan Nudelman, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024. Most notably, violations were issued in November 2024 for a broken window pane and missing window guard in apartment 2B. Other significant recent issues include a February 2024 complaint about an electric/gas range that HPD was unable to inspect, and a January 2024 heat and hot water outage that was reportedly resolved promptly.

The building has a documented history of plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple complaints about water leaks in 2022 (including heavy flow issues) and a slow leak in 2021. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices between 2020 and 2024, with several safety and maintenance issues requiring attention. Notable violations include egress concerns (with locked gates reported in 2024), and various maintenance issues in apartment 1A such as problems with bathtub waste lines, window sashes, and door security reported in late 2022.

The building's elevator maintenance requirements were addressed in 2020 through permits and work completion. Encouragingly, the building has maintained a clear bedbug history since 2019, with all reports showing zero affected units, though some historical reports noted previous infestations. While the property has shown some systematic issues requiring ongoing attention, it has also demonstrated compliance with various regulations through prompt resolution of many violations and maintenance concerns as they arise.
