408 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 408 East 119th Street, owned by Madeline Perez and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant incidents affecting resident safety and comfort over recent years. Most notably, in 2019, the property faced serious violations related to unauthorized transient use, including illegal hotel room operation in the basement with associated fire safety and building code deficiencies.
These violations resulted in $6,250 in penalties, though records indicate these were ultimately resolved. The building has also had ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022-2023, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown improvements, with the most recent inspections passing.
Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2022 included an infraction regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no bedbug infestations have occurred. The building's recent inspection history shows a mixed pattern of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing consistent passing results, suggesting improvements in pest management and building maintenance over the past year.
