310 East 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The six-story New Law Tenement at 310 East 19th Street in Gramercy, built in 1920 and currently owned by Haki Bakolli, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has ongoing open violations from a June 2022 inspection related to fire safety and maintenance of public hall ceilings on multiple floors (2nd to 6th stories), including both paint requirements and repair of fire-retardant materials.

The building has a history of heating and hot water issues, with complaints documented in 2020 showing emergency response from HPD, and an indoor air quality complaint in early 2024 that resulted in an advisory to the owner. Tenant safety inspections in 2024 have generally shown compliance, though an HVAC-related complaint from January 2024 was marked as "Insufficient Information/unable To Locate Address." The building's systems have required attention over the years, with permits issued for various electrical and plumbing work between 2018-2021, and a concerning security-related violation in 2022 regarding a non-self-closing building entrance door (this violation was subsequently closed).

The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years, and recent rodent inspections (most recently in April 2025) showing consistently passed results. While the building's recent history shows multiple permits for maintenance work and regular tenant safety inspections, the persistence of certain violation categories from 2022 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and public area upkeep.
