The 6-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement building at 149 Elizabeth Street in Nolita, owned by John Lee and constructed in 1900, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with a total of 10 documented complaints in this category over approximately one year. While some of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for HPD inspections, several resulted in violations and emergencies, including at least two specific apartment violations documented in April 2024 (apartments E6 and F1).
The building has maintained an active rodent control program, with inspections showing consistent passing results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in January 2023. The property has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple violations over the years. In 2024, violations were issued regarding inadequate hot water access and issues with the building's heating system access.
Earlier violations from 2021-2022 indicated problems with building exterior maintenance, including issues with the stucco facade, building access, and self-closing doors. The building's management has been diligent in filing annual bedbug reports, showing zero infestation counts in the most recent reports from 2025, 2024, and previous years, demonstrating effective pest management. While the building has faced several regulatory challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and building maintenance, it has generally complied with rodent control requirements and maintained an active bedbug prevention program.
