103 East 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 31-unit, 10-story New Law Tenement at 103 East 84th Street, built in 1917 and currently owned by John Derlaga, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are two active violations from 2024 related to swarming conditions and a Cycle 9C unsafe report.

The building has accumulated some compliance challenges, including a March 2018 Environmental Control Board violation with a $3,125 penalty for failure to submit an acceptable 7th round report of critical examination of exterior walls, though this was subsequently resolved. There have been multiple failed compliance attempts documented through Department of Buildings violations, including a 2021 violation for not filing an energy benchmarking report, though this was eventually dismissed. The building's maintenance record shows some positive trends in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, and consistent passing results on rodent inspections dating back to 2010.

Recent inspections have shown attention to compliance matters, as evidenced by a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in February 2023 that found no violations. While the property has required various permits for work, including alteration and plumbing permits, dating from 2018 through 2020, most of these have been issued and presumably completed. The building's documented issues, particularly the active violations from 2024, warrant attention, though it's worth noting that many historical violations have been resolved or dismissed upon follow-up inspections.
