150 West 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building at 150 West 84th Street, owned by Kevin Keenan and built in 1900, is currently facing multiple maintenance challenges as of mid-2025. The building has three open emergency complaints related to doors in June 2025, an unsanitary pest condition from March 2025, and recent concerns about heat and hot water issues. Between late 2024 and early 2025, the property experienced several significant incidents, including multiple plumbing issues (particularly affecting basins/sinks), repeated heat/hot water complaints, and an asbestos investigation in April 2025.

The building has active violations regarding illegal duplex construction in apartment 1D, involving unauthorized wood stairs to the cellar, and several safety-related violations in apartment 5B, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and door hardware that were addressed in late 2024. The property has a documented pattern of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat activity in October 2024 and February 2024, though recent compliance inspections in November 2024 passed. Heating system reliability appears to be an ongoing issue, with emergency complaints filed for both whole-building and apartment-specific heat/hot water problems.

The building's maintenance history shows multiple housing code violations and emergency repair needs, including plumbing issues, door problems, and pest control concerns. Notably, there have been multiple complaints about illegal conversions and work without permits, particularly concerning unauthorized modifications in apartment 1D, though inspections have often resulted in "Unable to Gain Access" findings. While the building's most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestations, the property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the past few years that may affect tenant comfort and safety.
