251 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 23-unit, 7-story New Law Tenement at 251 West 71st Street, built in 1925 and currently owned by Gary Adler, has experienced several significant building events in recent years. Most notably, there are two active and related façade safety issues as of late 2024, with an "Unsafe Notification" filed under the Façade (LL11/98) category, and a February 2024 V-DOB violation related to an "Unsafe Report" that remains active as of July 2025.

In terms of resident comfort, there was a concerning heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building during December 2022, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days. More recently, in mid-2024, there was a complaint regarding smoking or vaping in a smoke-free area, which was investigated by the health department. The building has maintained a consistent track record of bedbug-free status over the past several years, with all eight bedbug reports filed between 2019-2025 showing zero infested units.

Similarly, rodent inspections have generally passed, though there was one failure recorded in January 2023. The most recent building permit on record, issued in May 2019, was for an unspecified work type under job number 123431893. The property has demonstrated compliance with regular inspections and reporting requirements, though the recent façade safety concerns represent the most significant outstanding issue as of mid-2025.
