415 West 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 6-story, 65-unit New Law Tenement building at 415 West 24th Street in Chelsea, currently owned by Denay Riley, has experienced persistent heating system challenges over the past several years, with eight documented heat/hot water-related complaints between November 2022 and February 2024. Most concerning is the current open complaint from April 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which remains unresolved as of this report. The building has also faced multiple violations related to building security and safety in 2023, particularly concerning defective and missing self-closing doors in fire passageways and the lobby area, though these violations were certified as corrected in June 2023.

Regarding maintenance history, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent prevention measures, passing inspections in 2017, 2018, 2019, and most recently in October 2024. A bedbug infestation was reported in one unit during the 2021-2022 reporting period, but subsequent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have shown no further infestations. The property has been subject to two active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024, concerning non-compliance with A/C unit maintenance requirements and a failure to file necessary documentation, with associated penalties of $1,250 and $625 respectively.

The building's owners have faced occasional issues with energy benchmarking reporting, as evidenced by several violations from 2020 through 2022, though these have generally been dismissed or resolved. The building's maintenance records indicate regular response to resident complaints, though access issues have sometimes hindered inspections. While recent years have shown some improvement in pest management and building maintenance practices, the ongoing heating system concerns and recent garbage storage violation suggest continued challenges with building systems and maintenance.
