The 15-story New Law Tenement building at 139 East 79th Street, owned by Michael Boublik and built in 1928, has maintained a generally positive record regarding safety and maintenance over recent years. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, showing no signs of infestation. Bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 have recorded zero infested units, indicating effective pest management.
The property has undergone regular safety inspections, including Tenant Safety Inspections in both 2021 and 2023, all resulting in "No Violation Warranted" findings. Recent activity includes a food poisoning complaint in February 2025, which the DOHMH deemed isolated, and a food establishment complaint regarding Allergy Information in May 2024. The building has experienced several scaffold-related complaints between 2018-2021, though all were resolved with no violations found.
Significant maintenance work has been documented through multiple permit issuances, with the most recent being a plumbing-related permit issued in March 2025. Two DOB violations related to elevator maintenance from October 2019 were officially resolved in November 2022, with records showing proper corrective actions were taken. The building's system of regular inspections and prompt response to complaints suggests active management of resident safety and building maintenance, though prospective tenants should note the recent food-related complaints and the building's vintage status.
