210 West 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, 19-unit Old Law Tenement at 210 West 80th Street, built in 1910 and currently owned by Laurence Beame, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were two complaints regarding missing signage and door issues, both of which could not be inspected due to lack of access, and have since been closed. The building has faced ongoing heat and hot water problems, with violations issued in late 2021.

Additionally, there have been serious rodent control challenges, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2019 and 2024 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The property has active violations as of 2021 regarding the heating system and boiler room access, with a marked penalty of $3,125 related to boiler maintenance issues. Building systems have shown ongoing maintenance needs, including a 2018 violation for inadequate lighting at the front entrance and a 2020 violation regarding facade maintenance with spalling concrete.

The building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations since 2019, as per mandatory reporting requirements. Recent rodent inspections in early 2025 have shown improvement, with passed results compared to previous years' rat activity and bait applications. While the property has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat/hot water and pest control, recent inspection results suggest some improvements in conditions.
