317 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The six-story, 22-unit NEW LAW TENEMENT building at 317 East 75th Street, owned by Edwin Flores, has experienced several notable incidents since 2018, with the most recent concerning heat and hot water issues in January 2022. The building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, including a series of emergency complaints in 2019 involving mold, ceiling issues, and unsanitary conditions that were subsequently addressed. Fire safety concerns were prominent in 2018, with violations regarding fire escape maintenance and emergency egress, though most were resolved by subsequent inspections.

Building systems maintenance has been a recurring theme, with active ECB violations from 2021 related to mechanical exhaust ventilation and fire escape conditions, despite these being previously noted in 2018-2019 violations. Recent history shows the building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019, and it passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015-2019. There have been several construction-related complaints between 2018-2021, including concerns about unauthorized work and excessive debris.

While some violations remain open regarding fire safety modifications, such as illegal fastenings at cellar flap doors, most prior violations from 2018-2019 have been addressed and closed. The building's heating system has required attention, with the most recent complaint in January 2022 being resolved the following day. Overall, while the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older structures, particularly regarding fire safety and heating systems, most historical violations have been addressed through regular inspections and corrective actions.
