237 East 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
The five-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement at 237 East 26th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Bryce Macdonald, has experienced recurring pest-related issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints occurring in September 2023 and similar complaints in July 2021. While these recent complaints were resolved, with HPD verifying corrections, the building's history suggests an ongoing concern with vermin.
A notable violation was recorded in both 2019 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent records from 2022-2024 show consistent reporting with zero infested units listed. Additionally, the building had one lighting violation in 2019 related to front entrance illumination, which was resolved the following month.
The property has demonstrated generally good maintenance compliance in recent years, passing all rodent inspections since April 2025, including a series of passed inspections from 2012-2020, with only one instance of rat activity reported in April 2016 and two failed inspections in 2014. The building's bedbug reporting shows thorough compliance from 2019 onwards, with no recorded infestations or re-infestations during this period. The recent rodent inspection results and consistent bedbug reporting suggest improved pest management practices, though the repeated pest complaints in 2023 indicate that occasional issues persist.
