311 East 25th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 6-story, 42-unit Old Law Tenement building at 311 East 25th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Alex Kalajian, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water during Summer 2023, with multiple complaints filed by tenants for the entire building, some of which resulted in violations being issued.

The building has also faced pest-related concerns, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests recorded between July 2023 and June 2024, although some of these complaints were closed without any violations being issued. The property has several open violations as of 2023-2024, including issues related to self-closing doors at the fire door in the public hall stairs on the 2nd story, access to the building's heating system (locked boiler room door), and various deficiencies in apartment 1D's safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and door fittings.

An August 2023 ECB violation was recorded regarding an improperly supported A/C unit on the 2nd floor, though this was resolved. A Bedbug Reporting record from 2019-2025 shows no reported infestations during the past seven years, and while the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation, previous inspections from 2018-2020 consistently passed, with baiting applied in late 2011. The building's history shows regular maintenance issues that have required attention, with the most recent concerns primarily focusing on heating systems and safety equipment.
