169 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 10-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 169 East 105th Street in East Harlem, currently owned by Abj 105 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently three open complaints from 2025 concerning door frame issues and pest problems, with several similar complaints from May 2025 also remaining unresolved. In December 2024, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these were subsequently reported as corrected within a few days.
A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing failures. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with building systems and infrastructure. In late 2024, apartment 6 was cited for multiple violations including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various door and window issues, though these were subsequently certified as corrected.
The property has a documented history of unauthorized construction work from 2019, including violations for work beyond approved plans/permits and failure to maintain building exterior elements, resulting in several fines. There were also notable gas safety concerns recorded in 2019 regarding a missing gas valve in Apartment 4. Despite these issues, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations between 2022-2024.
