23 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

This four-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building in the Upper West Side was built in 1893 and is currently owned by Zacarias Vazquez. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a window frame problem reported and resolved in May 2024. There were multiple heating system failures documented in 2019 and 2020, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, though these issues were ultimately resolved.

The building's elevator system has also required attention, with a 2019 violation noting multiple defects including non-responsive buttons and a raw sewage leak in the machine room, which was resolved by November 2019. Recent inspections and complaints show ongoing maintenance activity, including a 2023/2024 rodent infestation inspection showing mixed results, with compliance achieved in 2024 following previous rat activity in May 2023. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reports filed in the last several years.

Two Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections from 2021-2023 resulted in violations, with one regarding inadequate permit sign-off requirements still showing as active with a $625 penalty as of August 2023. The building's exterior and safety features have faced scrutiny, with violations noted in 2023 regarding an unmarked sidewalk shed and scaffold, though these were resolved without penalty. Recent permit activity from September 2023 indicates ongoing building maintenance and improvements, with multiple permits issued for electrical and plumbing work.
