217 East 33rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 24-unit, 7-story New Law Tenement building at 217 East 33rd Street in Kips Bay, owned by Barry Horowitz and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events in recent years. Most recently, in March 2025, there were two rodent inspections conducted that both passed, following a rat sighting complaint in March 2025 that resulted in a Department of Health inspection with no violations found.
The building has consistently filed its bedbug reports showing no active infestations since 2021, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property has faced some significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022-2023, including violations related to building facade maintenance (specifically cracked terra cotta issues) and gas system safety concerns with exposed wires on the valve.
In March 2023, there was a Defective Boiler complaint that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and as of October 2023, there remains an active violation for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9A technical report by the February 2022 deadline. Despite these issues, the building has shown compliance with most inspections, including multiple successful rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025, suggesting overall maintenance attention from management.
