585 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 16-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 585 Avenue of the Americas in Chelsea, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jenifer Brooks, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. The most pressing recent concerns involve heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2024 (March and January) regarding lack of heat/hot water throughout the building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
In addition to temperature control issues, the building has faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple baiting operations and reports of rat activity between 2024 and 2025, despite some initial compliance inspections showing "Passed" results in previous years. The property has also had several significant maintenance and safety violations, including active Department of Buildings violations as of 2023 for failure to file internal high pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2022.
Historical records show various other maintenance issues, such as unsanitary sewage conditions (2021), a detector violation in Apartment 2S (2018), and concerns regarding building security with improperly functioning doors (2021). The building's management has faced scrutiny for not properly addressing multiple violations, with several Environmental Control Board violations in 2021 issued for failure to comply with previous commissioner orders, resulting in penalties totaling over $15,000 though some of these appear to have been resolved. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (as per 2019-2024 filings), the building's inspection history suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining consistent building systems and addressing resident complaints in a timely manner.
