144 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 10-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement at 144 East 36th Street in Murray Hill, built in 1916, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past few years. Most notably, in 2018, the building received two Class B violations related to plaster and paint deficiencies in apartment 5B's foyer and a second room, which were subsequently certified as corrected. More critically, in April 2018, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding safety measures concerning an unsafe building facade notification (FISP 3) with a $625 penalty that was resolved.

Between 2019-2022, multiple Department of Buildings violations were recorded and resolved, primarily related to elevator issues, including a 2019 violation for failing to correct defects noted in a 2017 inspection, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building's elevator system has required consistent attention, with multiple permits issued for elevator work between 2020-2023. Recent records show positive developments in pest control, with the building reporting zero bedbug infestations in annual filings from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective management of this issue.

Rodent inspections have also consistently passed from 2010 through March 2025, indicating maintained pest control standards. The building has seen a regular pattern of permit issuances for various maintenance and improvement work, particularly in 2020-2023, with each permit successfully reaching issued status. The most recent permit, issued in April 2023, continues this trend of ongoing maintenance and improvements at the property, now owned by 144 East 36th Street Corporation.
