220 East 52nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
The five-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building at 220 East 52nd Street, owned by Michael Sacchetti, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2024). Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to water-related problems, including heat/hot water issues, unsanitary conditions (mold), plumbing problems, and slow water leaks, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint occurring in March 2024. The building has also faced electrical challenges, with two power outages reported in October 2023, though inspections did not result in any violations.
A comprehensive inspection in May 2024 revealed several administrative violations that have since been resolved, including issues with posting safety notices, maintenance of fire escape access, and regulatory signage. The property has demonstrated some concerns regarding building maintenance and resident comfort, with the most recent complaints focusing on heat/hot water, mold, and plumbing issues. However, it's important to note that none of these complaints resulted in formal violations, and most were resolved promptly through HPD intervention.
Recent rodent inspections conducted in 2025 show improved conditions, passing without any reported concerns, which is a positive development over past years. Bedbug reports for the past five years indicate generally good conditions, with only one reported case in 2020 that was promptly eradicated. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues as they arise, with most complaints being closed after inspection and resolution of the reported problems.
