16 East 132nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10037
The five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building at 16 East 132nd Street in East Harlem, owned by Greg Cohen and dating back to 1900, has experienced recurring maintenance issues with basic services over the past two years.
Most pressing are three recent unresolved issues from April 2025 involving electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing concerns (basin/sink), and a slow water leak; plus three emergency complaints from June 2025 including problems with electric/gas range and cooking gas. The building has a notable history of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between late 2023 and 2024 affecting either individual apartments or the entire building, though some were ultimately determined not to violate housing laws upon inspection.
Violations requiring attention include an open Class C violation from November 2024 concerning a defective self-closing hopper door at the first-story public hall, and multiple open violations from September 2024 related to defective faucets and doors in apartment 2B. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in the past six years, and all rodent inspections since 2017 have consistently passed.
