180 7th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011

180 7th Avenue is a four-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jeffrey Pikus. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in late 2020, including several emergency complaints between November and December 2020, though these were all eventually resolved. More recently, there have been concerns about indoor air quality, with a chemical odors complaint in March 2025 and an insect/rodent issue in January 2024, though these were addressed either through advisories or bait application.

The building underwent three Tenant Safety Inspections in 2021, all of which passed with no violations cited. Notable maintenance history includes plumbing and electrical work in 2020, with violations corrected in units 3A and 3D for a leaky toilet and faulty electrical outlet, respectively. Recent inspections show improved conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a pass, though there had been previous evidence of rat activity in 2023.

The building has consistently demonstrated bedbug-free status in annual reports from 2019 through 2024. Multiple permits have been issued between 2018 and 2019 for various building maintenance work, including electrical and plumbing repairs. The Department of Buildings conducted several investigations into potential work without permits in 2019 and 2020, though no violations were found in these cases. Throughout its recent history, the building has shown responsiveness to addressing maintenance issues, with most complaints being resolved promptly, though some systemic problems like heating and air quality continue to arise periodically.
