299 East Houston Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The six-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building at 299 East Houston Street, owned by Chris Paravalos and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable events over recent years. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicating no rodent issues. Bedbug reports have shown no infestations over seven consecutive reporting periods from 2018 to 2024, suggesting effective pest management. However, there have been recurring heating system issues, with two documented heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in January 2021 and February 2022, though both issues were promptly resolved according to tenant reports.

The property underwent construction activity in 2019 that resulted in several violations, including a stop work order and an ECB violation regarding failure to conduct a final inspection of permitted work, though these issues were subsequently resolved. More recent building permits show regular maintenance activity, with multiple permits issued between 2020 and 2025 for various works. The building has experienced minimal regulatory issues since 2019, with only one food establishment complaint in 2025 regarding permit/license issues, which was closed without penalty. Of particular note, the building has maintained a good record since 2019 concerning housing maintenance code violations, with no major recurring issues reported.

The most recent inspection records from 2024-2025 indicate compliance with city regulations, including passing rodent inspections. While there have been occasional complaints regarding building amenities, such as heat and hot water in 2021 and 2022, these were resolved promptly. The building's food establishment areas have required occasional inspections, with some violations recorded in 2021 and 2025, though these were addressed according to Department of Health resolutions. Documentation of regular permit issuance from 2020 through 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the current ownership.
