AI summary · updated June 2026

The 27-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1392 Madison Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Bita Sassouni, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events since 2018, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water outage in the entire building in November 2021. The building has faced multiple health and safety challenges, including three food establishment complaints regarding contamination (2021, 2023-2024), rodent issues (2024-2025), and several smoking violations (2021-2024). Notably, the building's safety systems have remained generally compliant, with no recorded violations related to the fire escape inspection from April 2021, though there was a safety complaint about the fire escape that required inspection.

More recent records show improved conditions, with successful rodent inspections passed between 2018 to 2025, and a clear bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 showing minimal infestation issues, with only one reported case in 2020 that was eradicated. The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, as evidenced by passing all inspections since 2018, and has documented the proper filing of annual bedbug reports since 2024. While there were some violations noted in 2019 regarding smoke detector notice requirements and a food establishment issue in 2024, these appear to have been promptly addressed. The building's overall condition shows marked improvement in recent years, with no major systemic issues reported since the 2021 heat/hot water incident, though the periodic safety and health complaints indicate ongoing attention to maintenance matters is required.
