Does 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Does 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 2 active DOB violations. The newest was issued July 7, 2021. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has DOB received complaints about 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 3, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 5 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued September 23, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

When was 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1901 as the year 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a three-family dwelling with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 634 West 147 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
