511 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 30-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 511 East 73rd Street, owned by Henry Moses, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. The most recent complaints, as of 2023-2024, have involved unsanitary conditions related to pests, water leaks (both damp spots and heavy flow), and lighting problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.

The building has also faced significant challenges in 2022, including two heat/hot water outages (one affecting the entire building and one an apartment only) and multiple pest-related complaints, with a notable case in April 2022 involving vermin ants in Apartment 4 that was subsequently resolved. The property has several open violations from late 2022 that require attention, primarily concerning safety systems in Apartments 6 and 24, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices, as well as a door installation issue in Apartment 24. The building underwent bedbug inspections in 2025, 2022, and 2021, with no infested units reported in any of these periods.

While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, a compliance violation was noted in 2009. The property has a history of access issues during inspections, with three complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in 2019 receiving "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" dispositions. Recent inspections in April 2024 resulted in violations concerning the filing of annual bedbug reports, which have typically shown no infestations in recent years.
