300 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 15-story New Law Tenement at 300 West 83rd Street, built in 1924 and containing 48 units, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding doors, windows, and appliances, including violations related to a window pane and three doors, though inspections found most conditions did not violate HPD housing laws. Earlier in 2025, there were concerns about electrical problems including wiring issues and a power outage in April.

The building has a history of maintenance violations, particularly in Apartment 7B as of January 2024, including problems with windows, plaster surfaces, doors, and inadequate hot water supply, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by March 2024. The building's inspection history shows consistent monitoring for pests, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, and successful rodent control efforts noted in recent inspections. While the building has had some significant complaints in the past, including issues with construction work without proper permits (2020) and safety violations during facade work (2018), most recent building inspections have shown improved compliance.

The property has regularly passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there were some rat activity issues noted in 2021. The owner, Lauren Curtis, has maintained active permits for various repairs and maintenance work, with the most recent permits issued in late 2020 covering electrical and plumbing work. The building's emergency response to various maintenance issues, including door and window problems, suggests ongoing attention to resident concerns, though some recent violations indicate continuing maintenance challenges.
