37 West 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The eight-story, 32-unit New Law Tenement building at 37 West 93rd Street, currently owned by Kosha Diaz, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly between 2019 and 2021. The building, constructed in 1920, faced significant heat and hot water problems during the winter of 2020-2021, with multiple emergency complaints documented between February and December 2020, several of which required HPD intervention. In late 2020, there were also radiator issues that led to emergency complaints.

The building has maintained an active record of pest control challenges, with several violations documented in 2020, including a notable rodent infestation in Apartment 32 on the eighth floor. There have also been persistent issues with building safety compliance, with open violations from October 2020 related to missing safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and gas leak procedures in the lobby area. Recent years have shown some improvement in certain areas, with no documented bedbug infestations since 2018 and successful recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though multiple active Department of Buildings violations for failure to submit required reports (including FISP Cycle 9B technical report and EER filings for multiple years) remain unresolved as of 2024.

The elevator system received attention in 2018 and 2020, with an Environmental Control Board violation recorded in 2018 regarding a tampered door zone restrictor. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work being conducted, with several work permits issued for various projects between 2019 and 2022, including plumbing and electrical work. While some historical maintenance issues persist, the absence of recent pest and bedbug reports is a positive development for the building's current condition.
