148 Chambers Street, Manhattan, NY 10007
The seven-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 148 Chambers Street in Tribeca, owned by Solon Kentas and constructed in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding its mechanical systems. The building's boiler system has been a recurring concern, with violations recorded in both 2020 and 2023 related to defective/inoperative conditions, leading to Environmental Control Board violations for improper maintenance, including excessive soot, garbage storage, and inadequate lighting in the boiler room.
Multiple complaints about unauthorized construction work in April 2024 raised concerns about building maintenance practices, though most were found to warrant no violation upon inspection, except for one where access was denied. The property has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest control, with consistent reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units or re-infested units in their bedbug reporting. Additionally, rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018 consistently resulted in "Passed" ratings, indicating effective pest management.
The elevator system has been noted as having defects since 2019 that remain active. Recent Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 noted issues with garbage accumulation in commercial spaces, though these were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that many historical violations, including those from 2019-2022, were dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrections had been made.
