10 West 28th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 4-story, 6-unit building at 10 West 28th Street, owned by Andrew Zobler and constructed in 1856 as an Old Law Tenement, is currently experiencing persistent electrical issues, with multiple recent complaints about no lighting documented in April and March 2025 that remain unresolved. A pattern of similar electrical problems is evident in historical complaints from late 2024 and throughout 2024-2025, often resulting in HPD inspection attempts where access was not granted. The building has several active Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024, including issues with fire safety systems and door mechanisms throughout various floors.

These violations, documented in Fall 2024, concern unpainted ceilings, defective fire-retardant materials, and problematic self-closing doors in public areas. The property's mechanical systems have faced significant regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding the low-pressure boiler system. There are multiple active Environmental Control Board violations and Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports from 2018-2024, with total penalties exceeding $10,000.

Historic complaints from 2019-2021 indicate previous issues with the boiler system that resulted in Oath Violations. The building's sanitary conditions have also been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about garbage and recycling storage documented in early 2025, as well as open violations regarding refuse accumulation in public areas from September 2024. While rodent inspections from 2010-2014 generally show compliance, and there were no bedbug cases reported between 2019-2020, the current pattern of unresolved electrical, sanitation, and safety-related violations raises ongoing maintenance and safety concerns for residents.
