48 West 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 48 West 22nd Street in the Flatiron District, owned by 22nd Street Owners Inc., has experienced recurring compliance issues over the past several years, particularly regarding safety inspections and maintenance requirements. The most recent violation, from June 2023, remains active and involves the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, representing an ongoing potential safety concern.

This follows a pattern of inspection-related violations, including an active violation from January 2020 for not submitting the 2017 boiler inspection report, and a 2019 elevator-related violation regarding unaddressed defects from the 2017 Category 1 inspection. The building has had some violations that were eventually resolved or dismissed, such as a successfully dismissed violation from August 2023 regarding the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and a 2019 incident involving a Category 5 inspection that was resolved with penalties paid.

Earlier violations, including one from 2018 that was dismissed based on subsequent reports showing corrected defects, indicate there have been various safety-related compliance issues throughout the building's recent history. The pattern of active violations, particularly regarding critical systems like the boiler, elevator, and pressure systems, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with required safety inspections and documentation, though some past violations demonstrate the building has taken steps to resolve issues when they are formally cited.
