235 East 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building at 235 East 25th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Magdalena Kosz, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being rodent activity. A June 2025 health department inspection confirmed rat activity, following similar findings in April 2025, though May 2025 saw a passed compliance inspection. The building has also faced periodic issues with pests, particularly in mid-2023, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, some of which resulted in inspections that found no violations.

In 2019, the building experienced multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building system, classified as emergencies, though these were reportedly resolved. More recently, in August 2023, two violations were recorded regarding self-closing doors at the building's entrance, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug concerns, with no infestations reported in the past seven years, as shown in annual filings.

The building's plumbing systems have also required attention, notably in October 2019. Historical data shows a pattern of building-wide heating system issues in December 2019, though these were addressed promptly according to HPD records. The building's exterior has faced some regulatory scrutiny, with a 2020 citation for an illegal outdoor sign that resulted in penalties, though this appears to have been resolved. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted since 2017, with mixed results between compliance and initial inspections, suggesting ongoing monitoring of pest control measures in place.
