Brief

The Department of Building and Safety has initiated a lien against the property at 1836 West 47th Street (Assessor's Parcel 5015-004-008) to secure payment of code enforcement work and related costs. The file was referred to Council on July 17, 2026, and remains open for Council action. The lien is based on Invoice 900683-4 and Case 993799.

Full summary

This file documents a lien action by the Department of Building and Safety against the property located at 1836 West 47th Street. When property owners fail to comply with building code violations or fail to pay for city-ordered remedial work, the Department may file a lien against the property to recover those costs. In this case, the Department submitted documentation dated June 9, 2026, to the Council for processing. The lien references specific case and invoice numbers (Case 993799 and Invoice 900683-4), which typically correspond to code violations found at the property and the cost of corrective action taken or ordered by the Department. Once a lien is recorded, it attaches to the property title and creates a legal claim that must be satisfied before the property can be sold or refinanced. The file was received by the Council on July 17, 2026, and has no subsequent activity recorded. It remains in open status with a two-year expiration date of July 17, 2028. This is a routine administrative matter processed through the Council's lien authorization procedure, though it may require committee review or a Council vote before the lien is formally placed on record.
