448 West 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
Terrence Lowenberg's 40-unit, 7-story Old Law Tenement at 448 West 19th Street in Chelsea, built in 1910, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly with its heating and hot water systems. The building has undergone multiple heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024 and into early 2025, with several instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspection, though violations were ultimately confirmed in multiple apartments including 3A, 3CD, and PHA.
The property has also faced rodent-related issues, with repeated complaints resulting in both passed and failed inspections between 2024 and 2025, though a recent February 2025 inspection did pass. Significant building safety and maintenance violations have been documented, including an October 2024 violation for inadequate heat and hot water in multiple apartments, problems with the self-closing door at the building's first floor, and various issues with the roof and bulkhead ceiling. There have been multiple complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms between 2019 and 2023, with the most recent 2023 complaints resulting in Oath Violations.
The building's systems have shown persistent concerns, with two active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2023 regarding elevator maintenance and building code compliance. Regular bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2025 show no reported infestations, though rodent control efforts have required multiple bait applications in 2024. The property has received various permits for plumbing and electrical work between 2018 and 2019, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance.
