219 Columbus Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023
The five-story Old Law Tenement at 219 Columbus Avenue in the Upper West Side, owned by Robin Birnbaum, was constructed in 1887 and contains 4 units. The building's recent history reveals some maintenance concerns, most notably an inadequate heat complaint filed in January 2022 and closed in June 2024, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene indicated the issue was addressed.
Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed. Despite these administrative issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug infestations, with all three annual filings (2021-2024) showing zero units affected.
The property has demonstrated consistent attention to pest control, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections conducted annually from 2015 through 2025, with the most recent inspection occurring in June 2025 also resulting in a pass. A special operations compliance inspection in July 2020 found no violations, suggesting generally good compliance with building regulations.
