236 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 4-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 236 East 75th Street, owned by Peter Mesos and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most concerning events occurring in 2018. During August 2018, the building faced critical infrastructure problems including a temporary loss of heat and hot water, though these were reportedly restored within days. That same month, violations were issued for unsatisfactory garbage/recycling storage conditions, and an inspection revealed multiple administrative code violations related to safety compliance.

These included the need to properly post carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and heating system keyholder information in the public areas, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by September 2018. Since 2018, the building has maintained better compliance with housing maintenance requirements. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2020, with all nine annual reports showing zero infested units. The building's rodent inspection history shows a minor incident in December 2019 when rat activity was noted, though this was followed by a passed inspection in February 2020.

Regular inspections from 2016 through 2019 indicated good rodent control compliance, with the property consistently passing these evaluations except for the one noted exception. The most recent available data shows that from 2020 through July 2025, the building has maintained rigorous pest control measures, particularly regarding bedbugs, with annual reports consistently showing no infestations. While the 2018 violations indicated multiple safety and maintenance issues, the prompt certification of most violations by September 2018 suggests responsive management, though one open violation from that period regarding waste storage remains on record. The building's most recent inspection history has shown improved overall conditions, with no significant reported issues or violations in recent years.
