411 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The six-story New Law Tenement building at 411 East 70th Street on the Upper East Side, owned by Alan Falzon, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges since at least 2023. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with several complaints between April 2023 and October 2024, though housing authorities were often unable to gain access for inspection. The building currently has an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests filed in January 2025, and there have been documented rodent activity incidents in 2024, following previous years with similar findings.

Apartment 2F has had multiple violations requiring attention to safety systems, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in early 2024, while apartment 3C was noted for a mouse infestation violation in mid-2024. The property has also faced various maintenance issues, including concerns about water leaks, ceiling damage, and food safety matters. In December 2023, multiple violations were issued concerning the public hall area on the third story, including issues with fire retardant materials and paint condition.

The building's history shows consistent monitoring for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since records began in 2019. While some violations have been resolved, including those related to water leaks and ceiling issues in 2023, the pattern of recurring heat/hot water complaints and pest-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent inspection data as of 2024 indicates continued rat activity, with a similar pattern observed in prior years.
