110 East 1st Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The six-story New Law Tenement building at 110 East 1st Street, owned by Peter Tran, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues throughout 2025, most notably concerning janitorial services and building cleanliness. Currently, there are four open complaints related to janitor/supervisory issues and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage from June 2025. The property has also faced multiple power outage incidents in June 2025, with three non-emergency electrical issues reported and subsequently closed. Earlier in 2025, the building experienced significant heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in January, some indicating problems with both building-wide and individual apartment systems.

The building went through construction-related disturbances in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions, construction debris, and safety violations. Notable violations include the installation of unauthorized metal balconies, defective self-closing doors, and issues with scaffolding safety during exterior work. The property has maintained a strong record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2019 and recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing compliance with bait application requirements, though some inspections noted rat activity. The building's emergency systems were found to have several deficiencies in late 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, hot water supply, and skylight maintenance.

The recent history of 110 East 1st Street shows a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, with multiple open complaints regarding basic building maintenance and sanitation. The property has demonstrated efforts to address various violations and compliance matters, as evidenced by the closing of multiple complaints and violations. While the building has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs and addressed rodent issues through regular baiting, the recurring nature of maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and prompt response to resident concerns. The most recent significant violations relate to unauthorized modifications to the building structure and safety systems, though many earlier violations from late 2024 were addressed and certified as corrected.
