- City records show 3 open HPD violations at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2025 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- City Buildings Department records show an open life-safety condition (e.g. unsafe building / hazardous facade) — what is it, and has it actually been resolved, not just re-filed?
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Properly repair the broken or defective ventilation system in the kitchen.
240 East 47 Street sits in Manhattan, ZIP 10017. The closest subway is Lexington Av/51-53 Sts (6,E,F) (6-minute walk), served by the 4, 5, 6, 7, E, F, and S lines.
Building Condition
Issued September 2025. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
